okay im about to go out and really tear in to the truck and try to find my problem but i wanted to post this here incase i found nothing so i could get some opinions.

the other day i was playin with the air for a friend and i slammed it on the ground pretty hard and then my radio and amp started cutting on and off immediately as i slammed it. as i start driving down the road the radio and amp and the engine would all cut on and off at the same time. Also the wiper would come on for one swipe occasionally and my heat gauge started having seizures.

I started goin over all of my wires and find nothing as of right now. i wired the comps straight to the battery and now they do not cut off or anything and i changed the battery. oh yeh and last night i was tryin to get it home and my headlights were really dim. and then when my radio and heat gauge would start working right again the headlights would brighten up. then when stuff started messin up again my headlights would go dim again.

Anybody have any ideas at all? im goin to go unplug the radio to see if it changes anything and them im thinkin possibly the alt is taken a poop on me. sorry its so much to read but i wanted to be thourough on the problem. lol

oh yeh and worst of all. when all this stuff messes up my dump valves wont work either. the weird thing is is the fill valves still work great but not the dump.

it sounds like an up front power issue (bat and alternator). when my alt belt gets loose, my truck does the same thing. id check the bat terminals, alt belt, and ground connections.

Definetly check your ground wires. Especially the one for the battery. this sounds like you hit to hard and jugged something loose.
