Re: Batterty?

Re: Batterty?
Yea agree here. before you go dropping a 180 on a yellow top at least test it. Mine was shot tho. it was the original battery that came in the truck when it rolled off the lot in 03 i was very impressed lol.

Re: Batterty?
Either could be causing it. Have them both tested before spending money.

Re: Batterty?
High temps and too much jostling around can deplete a battery. I moved to TX from NY 3 years ago... in NY I never had to replace a battery, here it's the norm to replace every 3 years or so because of the heat.
