Recently bought a 12 valve and I am new to the motors.
The Truck:
1996 3500 4x4 auto with 168k miles
PROBLEM
In the mornings when I get in the truck the water in fuel light, wait to start, and trans temp light along with the check engine light stay on and never turn off. I then start the truck and the lights stay on.The tach along the speedometer do not work. When I try to drive the truck feels like it has no power and it stays stuck in 2nd or 3rd gear. After driving for a few minutes the lights will shut off and the Tach and speedometer begin working.
The Volt meter reads about 9 volts while the truck is acting up and then will go back to normal operating voltage.
I had the batteries tested at autozone and they said they were still good. I went ahead and replaced the alternator.
Any Ideas?
