6.0 stalling issue hhhhelp

My 2004 F350 with a 6.0 PSD will stall sometimes. Every so often when I start the truck the front left headlight will be dim. When this happens and I use the wipers, headlights, and heat basicly use accessories the wipers will move slowly and the truck will stall when you pull on the highbeams.

I know when the truck does this because when I turn on the headlights the left turn signal arrow on the dash appears to be partially lit up.

I have replaced both batterys and was thinking alternator but this problem isn't always there only every so often. I have no Idea any help would be greatly appreciated.

I will have your post moved to the 6.0L Forum. Check the alternator output yet? Does the truck start after charging the batteries?

The shop that checked and replaced the battery's said the alternator was fine. The only reason I didn't think it was the alternator because the problem isn't always there. Truck starts great after the new batterys too.

Well it wasn't the alternator. I am going to have to check for a bad ground or something. I have noticed today also that the windshield washer fuild sprays out when having this issue also. This is frustrating ahhhhhh.
