[QUOTE="1BROWNWRENCH, post: 1537909, member: 30128"] Old GMCs will die slowly on route if you don't turn off accessories with the engine being off. The alternator can't restore the lost power with closely spaced stops. As the day goes on the battery gets progressively weaker until it's game over. It is in your best interest to conserve power by turning off UN NECESSARY accessories when the engine is off. I had one in particular that kept breaking down though there was nothing wrong with the charging system and starting system (Pre-keyless). The driver refused to change his ways and the breakdowns kept coming. Finally, I rigged the headlights to a relay so they only worked with the ignition on. No more problems. [/QUOTE]
