Yeah. This means it is more than just a draining the battery from leaving a light or radio on. First, bring your battery to an auto store to get it tested. It may be breifly holding and chage and dissapting quickly meaning it is bad. If it fails, get a new one.
If it tests good, you may have a loose connection on the alternator. If not, it sounds like your alternator is going out. Get it replaced.

That would be awesome if we could. The AFM is pretty useless the way they have it programmed. Mine really only dropps to 4 when i let off the gas.. That's the only time I'm not worried about gas mileage. When I'm not giving it gas.
They probably have a non aggressive programming so that people woudn't be complaining about thier trucks not performing like a truck.
If it spent more time in v4, you'd see a great loss of performance. In fact, if v4 is what you want and you don't care about your truck performing like a truck. You may want to get an economy car. ha ha!!
I know, we want the best of both worlds, an economy truck!!
I guess you could spend an extra $10k + and get the tahoe hybrid.

Yeah. I've noticed that too. If im on flat road and in the 45 to 55 mph speed limit. I will put it in cruise at about 50mph and it will stay in v4. You can hear the higher rpms too.

Hi.. Go to Menu on the right side radio/nav panel. then click on Nav on top middle of menu. then go down to the round map of the world.. I think it says change "something" can't remember off the top of my head... but click on that and it will open the face screen and you'll get the option to eject DVD then you can change it out and close. That's it. Good luck.. let me know how you come out. Diane (SEABYRD)

FYI - I just had the same thing happen with our 2007 Tahoe. The dealer thought it was a ground problem under the driver seat, but ended up stating that it was a radio problem. He said I was the first person to have that type of problem at his dealership, but he had another lady come in the same day, with the exact same problem. They put in a new radio and everything is back to normal again.

If your battery is 3 or 4 years old, I would guess that its just an old battery, and probably time to get a new one.

As suggested, probably a bad battery.
May also have something electrically defective with a very large current drain, but you could check that by monitoring the amount of current draw coming out of the battery while the door is open. If you have a large current drain, then start pulling fuses to figure out which circuit is the draw (blower motors, headlights, heated seats, shorted diodes in the alternator, etc).
