How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

First time ive seen this logo pop up, what does the battery icon mean

Means the alternator isn't charging. check the voltage with a digital meter.

This is so wack and weird, it does that at start up (starts up fine btw, no hesitation or anything). But when I barely put it in drive it goes away.

Voltage goes up whem driving, dips a bit when at idle.

Guages are dim, ugh

Thoughts? Perhaps the diaob also went bad, do they sell those?

would have to get a meter on the battery to verify, but if voltage is good there, need to check voltage in the cab. there might be a loose connection.

Have you tried adjusting the dash lights?

Theyre all the way up sir

Wonder what wire(s) i need to be looking for

What are your voltages at the battery and at the back of the alternator when idling. that's the first place to start. I don't remember if the main power into the cab comes from the starter or from a junction block. others would have more knowledge on that. But first things first. see what the voltage is under the hood first.
