    Driving home today my lights cut out twice... what is weird is that all my dash lights cut off too. When I turn the stalk off and then back on they turned back on. But I also have no interior dome lights now. Any have issues like this before. Pretty scary driving pitch black highway going 75 and your lights cut out

    i Seriously hope so that would be an easy fix, but I’ve never known an alternator to be that selective. Literally just my lights shut off. Radio kept playing, truck kept driving...

    only thing that has changed is that I installed a remote start unit about 2 weeks ago. This is the first time it has happened

    I would first check your wiring from that remote start system very closely. Then I would test your charging system.

    Agree win vanoss101, look at the last work that was done to your truck. Since its a newer truck...Look at the last add on you did because you are not spending money fixing stuff. I would take it back to the installer.
