OT: Question about electrical system on my truck

Posted by Garry on July 10, 2003 at 06:11:54 from (205.144.227.164):

I was on the interstate last week going about 70 mph and the truck electricla system just cut out. All the guages quit operating and the truck coasted to a stop. I cranked it back up and it ran fine. That afternoon the same thing happened. I adjusted the battery cable and it cranked up and ran fine. It has been running ok since. My question is should the electrical system depend on the battery after it is running. Seems like the alternator would still keep it running even if the battery cable does not have good connection. The truck is a 98 Chev gas burner if that matters. This is probably a stupid question and someone will ask me what color the truck is, but it does seem odd to me that it did that.
