Idiot light

My o6 battery (red) light comes on and off after getting to speed for awhile. The charging gauge stays right in the middle, and I brought up the computer to see the volts when the lights come on and it is aprox. 14 volts. Do you think the light is an idiot or should I get service right away????

It probably wouldn't hurt to have it checked out by the dealer. Seems to be new enough, and I'm sure you still have the active warranty. I wouldn't stress over it unless the dealer can't find anything.

I'm pretty sure nothing important is wrong because my gauge and computer say everything is charging ok, its just annoying looking at that red light when the truck gets to speed.
