Question
i just replaced the battery and starter. when i drive the battery surges and when i brake it goes back down. this is not right what else do i need to do or get??

Answer
Jason,
  I'm a Parts Professional, not a Tech but will ask some of my Tech Customers about your problem once I understand it fully.
  Exactly what do you mean when you say, "The battery surges"? Batteries don't surge. Do you mean the voltage in the car is going up and down? IF the voltage is going up and down, I'd go down to your local O'Reilly Auto Parts and have them do a "charging system" test on the car. Have them do the test at idle AND at about 2,000 RPM. IF it looks odd, remove the alternator and let them check it on their machine.
  Keep in touch and I'll do all I can to help. Please remember, I'm a Parts Professional, NOT a Tech but I'm willing to try to help you get your car fixed..

Heretofore, I will NOT answer any mechanical question. I am not qualified and can only offer speculations. You are better served by others that are true Techs. With that being said, please only ask about parts and locating obsolete Auto Parts. Thank you. I have the ability to locate quite a few mechanical parts for American made vehicles fron the 1900`s to present. Some are OEM and some are aftermarket. This would include engine, brake and chassis parts. Body parts and trim are VERY difficult to find but you may inquire. If you need assistance in repair, I have illustrated books for major American manufacturers that show some illustrations BEFORE 1974. If needed, I can supply repair manuals for your specific vehicle. PLEASE REMEBER I'M A PARTS SPECIALIST, NOT A TECH!! Thank you.. Skip
