NOTE: This is an "issue" that has been present since I bought my truck.

Simply put, if I'm sitting in Park and I rev the engine and hold it, the interior dome lights seem to "flicker." Imagine a candle flame in a dark room and you've pretty much got what's going on. It's not a lot but it's enough that I can notice.

I'm just curious if this is normal. My charging gauge sits at the "14" mark or just a pinch lower.

If it makes any difference, the center rear red light on the cab in the rear has never worked ever since I bought the truck. I always thought to replace it but it's such a forgettable light to replace.

The plastic clips that serve as the sockets for the lamps get brittle and crack over time, the flicker is not normal, it should remain steady. Take the bulb out and check the connector for corrosion or damage.
