Ok just thought about it. Good luck with it.
If it was the starter and you changed it out, I hope you went ahead and did the solenoid too. If not then expect more problems with the starter and solenoid shortly.
this sounds like a bad ground or battery cable problem....replace them or start by cleaning the post of the battery....your dancing around the problem it sounds like...diode in the alternator will cause this same issue ..after driving for a while it will start to discharge the battery at certain rpms.... have you had it tested?
have the alternator checked too..those ya get from the auto zone ..even in the life time warranty still have issues...i went through four before getting one that wouldnt leave me on the side of the road. if the cable is near or lying on the exhaust manifold this will cause the same problem...if its close wrap it in some refractive tape or exhaust wrap for headers
when replacing it get a larger diameter multi strand and slightly longer to route away from any heat sources
