Hello,I have a 94 suburban 6.5td the problem I am having is that when you turn on both blower motors,head lights,radio volt meter goes in to the red say 9-10 volts turn it all off goes back to 14 volts,but if you check voltage at alt and batteries with the blower motors on head lights radio on it is 14 volts when gauge is reading 9-10 volts I have cleaned and check all grounds the batteries have load tested good and alt has tested it is good.I have checked voltage at fuse pantle it is reading whatever the gauge reads thanks for the help

how is the cable that connects both batteries?
what are you getting when the truck is running high rpms? should be 14.6
my truck used to do the same thing, i ran anouther power cable from battery to battery.
turned out to be fine.
