I have a 92 Dakota 2WD 2.5 L. I just bought a new battery and a new alternator, also did a oil change. But since I got the truck last week its been acting up thats why I replaced the batter and alternator. The guy who I bought it from supposedly didn't have this problem with it which is HIGHLY doubtful. And how its acting up is when I'm driving it the headlights dim and go back to normal the same with the taillights, this also happens with the lights in the cab. The heater does the same it dies down then starts blowing like normal. And it also loses power a little bit while it does this. Also the guages wiggle a little bit. The first time I noticed this was before I put in the new battery cuz the voltemeter shows about 15-16 volts and when it dies down like this it goes down to about 4. I'm so confused with this problem and so are a few family members I've asked. But other then this the truck runs perfectly all around. Does anybody know what could possibly be wrong before I bring it in and getted ripped off for things it really doesn't need.
HELP ME OUT PLEASE!
Thank You

maybe try cleaning the battery ground cable connection at the frame (or where it mounts on the 4 cyl).
