Description of the problem	The headlamps , exterior lamps , all lights on dash , window and door lock switches , radio , a/c switches and gauges flicker. The gauges , ie.. Fuel , water temp , tach , voltage meter and oil pressure gauge fluctuate. Im afraid they will permanently go out while driving at night. I've tried dimming the headlamps , adjusting the rheostat and other things with no change. My truck is now past warranty on the mileage. I noticed a service bulletin on my insurance website. The bulletin is 1001986 . According to this service bulletin gm has been having this problem for quite some time as the bulletin was sent jan. 2001 and still has 2005 models [what i have] included in that bulletin. I went to my dealer and requested info on the specific bulletin so that i could make repairs and was first told by the serv. Writer that she did not have access to serv. Bulletins. I told her that i had been a service manager for a toyota dealer and knew that if she was a service writer then she did indeed have access to bulletins she admitted she did . I then asked again for a copy of the bulletin and she then said she wasn't authorized to give that info. I paid almost 40k for this truck and that's the service you get from gm. It seems that if so many vehicles having the same problem at least 6 consecutive years you guys should investigate and mandate a recall as your driving lamps are a vital part of the safety with the vehicle.
