I knew the DML would be the place to come for help! I have been here off and
on since I got the truck in 98. Even went to a meet in California.
The battery is next on the list. Maybe I can run by at lunch today. I tried
to clean the terminals last night, but couldnt get the nut off of the neg
terminal due to the corrosion (That cant be good!!).
