Guys,
I noticed and maybe you do as well that the interior lights pulse(flash) as the Tahoe idles. I never payed attention to this because it was not very noticeable until i replaced the interior lights with LED's. Now its more noticeable and bugging me. Could this be an alternator issue? or is there a way to stabelize it?

As the engine is running it does it. You can tell the lights are dancing with the idle. Again, some people may not even notice it but its noticable to me.

unknown at this time.
most parts stores will load test it for free. if the pulsing is like the brightness waving up and down then i would suspect some bad diodes in the alt.
