Brand new 2020 2500 Cummins acting funny again. After a remote start to warm my truck (it's like -17c) I get in and start the thing again, it fires right up no hesitation. I'm sitting their at idle for a bit texting and all of a sudden the thing feels and sounds funny. It's a shame I forgot to take a video but my truck was bouncing from 100-700 rpm and about 1/4 to 1/2 battery charge on the gauges in unison. I throttled it up and it was fine but briefly did it again after a stop over, I noticed it takes a few minutes of driving for my battery to read out at just above half I know that's fairly arbitrary due to ie all being smoke and mirrors now adays.
This truck sat for awhile at the dealer as I haven't even owned it a week and it's got less then 1000km on it. This is the first time I've seen a diesel do this and I don't know what to make of it. Is this possible a bad battery cell combined with the grid heater draw or a symptom of a worse issue? I should add that the truck was warm at the time and the tranny was even heating up.
