Lights dimming

I have a 05 screw 4.6 that recently every once and awhile the electrics all dim. The dimming lasts a few seconds and returns to normal. The loss is very noticeable at nite. Any ideas?

My 06 xlt screw 5.4 does the same thing. Mostly when turning on/off other things like the heater/defroster(A/C could be the issue)? 130 Amp Alternator should run everything without dimming. I do have the fogs on most of the time. Learned to live with it.

that is a problem that i used to have and next thing you know it started by it self and you can't even turn it off, to turn it off you will have to disconnect the battery, if your truck is still under warranty, bring it back asap, it's an internanl failure, i will look for the part number that they changed.......it took them 2 days to fix mine.
