2 Battery Cable problem

Failure Date: 10/16/2010

2008 Chevrolet Silverado having electrical problems. Door locks cycling, a/c not working intermittent, alt gauge fluctuating, fuel gauge fluctuating, engine stall, abs & tcs lights blinking. I reported the problem to my dealer and the kept it for a week. They ended up replacing the 175 amp megafuse and battery cables. I got back and have driven it for a week and everything seems to be working properly except the alt gauge. I intend on calling them back next week so I can drive it a little longer to see if any of the other issues persist.
