if you truck is having any hesitation when any electrical device is turned on one of two possibilities may be occurring one your alt may be going out slowly or your battery is going bad or is bad (possibly some dead cells) if your volt gauge (to me its really a fancy idiot light in disguise as well we the oil gauge but thats another rant) is fluctuating at all when your turning on any electrical accessories that may be a possible indicator as well....
