ok so today on my ride home i noticed my headlights started to flicker and my passenger headlight kept going on and off.. so i went home for about an hour, come back out and my truck won't start. My buddy shows up and gives me a jump and it started up fine.. i let it sit for 10 - 15mins while running. THEN get in my truck and about 4 blocks away the ABS light and E BRAKE light start to go off and engage!!!!! WTF I instantly popped a U turn and notice my radio is off, all of my dash lights are dim, ALL OF MY GAUGES ARE ALL THE WAY DOWN so i pull over and i couldnt roll my window up until i turned the truck off.

OH and ive also been noticing my truck having a rough idle the last 2 day. It usually idles around 700rpms and its been idling at 8-920rpms!

NOW the truck wont start again!!!!! WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON?????

I've been searching and searching.. the only thing i can think of is the Alternator or the VCT Solenoid ?
I have no idea

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!
THANKS!

Oh yes, I forgot to mention I just replaced the battery maybe 3 months ago/if that, with a Interstate Battery

 

If it died and then ran for a bit after a jump start, t'would lead me to suspect the alternator has gone to a better place.

 

X2 Alternator.

 

Maybe a belt tensioner, I had a waterpump go on my old dodge did crazy things to everything...

 

x3 alternator

 

X4 on the Alternator and better hope it's that and not your smart junction box, which is essentially the brain of the truck
