Man seems like there’s been a lotnno f small weird issues going on with my truck lately. I developed a new issue late last night and this evening. I picked up a new truck last night and the truck ran perfect on the 2 HR drive. Got the trailer loaded and went to start the truck and nothing happened. No chime, no lights, no nothing except for the park brake indicator light wa s lit but extremely dim. Basically if acted like the batteries were completely dead. My only thonly but was hook up jumper cables so I had the fella helping me jump me and it started no problem. I drove the 2 hrs home with no issues. Drove to work this morning with no issues or problems. Went to leave work started truck and went to lock up shop when I heard my truck shut off. No wierd sounds just shunt off like when I turn the key off. Started right back up and died again 3 mins later. This time it did just what it did last night. No response from instrument cluster or lights. Let sit for a few minutes and bam fired right off and headed home. Made it home no problem. Now I’m really curious why the heck it did that? My battery’s are in good shape. I cleaned the terminals and cable ends recently also.

    I would get the copper lugs and solder on new copper lugs and use the military style battery terminals. The other problem most people don't hook up battery cable correctly. You need a terminal spreade

  • I believe I got mine off of amazon. 8' of black and red, ring trminals, and adhesive lined shrink wrap. Looking back I probably have less than $115 in the project and 2 or 3 hourrs work in it.

    Check the fuses as well I've seen strange things happen to those square fuses. They can crack and look fine but the power to the circuit is random or weak at times. Use an ohm meter to verify.

I looked at theirs too. Very good looking product. The price, not the product  turned me off.

 

Indeed, they’re kinda pricey. That’s why I mentioned for anyone that doesn’t want to work with big gauge wire it’s a good alternative.

Have your old batteries test first to see if new batteries are needed.
