I was traveling and my oxy and bat light started to flicker,  It seemed to subside as the rpms got higher, then it just died.  I replaced the battery and it seemed to be fine for a couple of days, and then while driving at night, the lights started to dim, and finally I slowed to a dead stop.  I took the battery in for a recharge, replaced the alternator, now nothing.  I recharged that battery and it was able to move my baby up the drive way.  That was all she wrote.  Next, I took the started to my local AutoZone for a bench test.  It did not test consistently at all, and there was a distinct grinding sound.  The tech said that if it wasn't the problem, it soon would be.  So I've got a new battery, a new alternator and on Monday, a new starter.


Any troubleshooting to do while the starter is out?
