Ok so i have a 2003 yukon xl 1500 denali
backstory time. Sunday i had to go to the store so I remote started my truck and when I got in it I seen battery not charging message on the dashing the battery light so I did a short test drive and it started charging again. So I kept going I went to the store did my shopping and when I came out I remote started the truck and it was charging fine. The next day I remote start my truck before leaving for work and when I got in it it said service stability, abs, brake, battery light, and when I cleared service stability it said battery not charging so I reved it up and it started charging. So I went to work and scanned it and I had p1637 generator l terminal circuit and 2 communication codes(which I figured was because of the low battery from not charging) also I checked the generator duty % and it was bouncing from 5% to 98%. So after work I started up and it wasn't charging again so I checked the brown wire at the plug and had 10v unplugged and 1.2 plugged in. Checked the stud and had battery voltage. I reved it up again and it started charging. I went to leave for work this morning and when I started it it said battery not charging so I reved it and it didn't charge so I did a short test drive and it still didn't charge. I don't live far from the shop so I drove to work and it didn't charge at all. So I ordered a reman alternator and put it in after work.
So here's where my question comes in. After changing the alternator and charging the battery every light on the truck flickers at a slow pace at idle and speeds up when you give it gas. My first thought was bad reman so I took it back to advance and had them test it and it tested good so I cleaned the ground and hot at the alternator and the battery and I tested the battery and it read good. I was still getting the flickering so I bought a belt because the old one was starting to crack. And its still doing it. So any idea what the problem could be. I don't have the money to load the parts Canon. And to be honest I'm stumped. I work on school buses and they don't have all these fancy circuits for the alternator
