    Nice man.

    How old is the battery?
    The battery cables good?
    All grounds good?
    Check connections!



    I still need to mount the steelies for winter.

    if i recall correctly there is a sticker on the battery that said it expired in like 04? :p

    but its definitely the battery itself because it works fine in warm weather

    The sticker is usually the date of purchase or something. Mine has an 08 sticker on it.


    I say just check the wiring and crap. I thought my issue was my battery last week when my truck didn't start. It was definitely the shoddy wiring job I had when I did my battery/ intake swap (which worked for about 5000 miles and more haha)

    72" 2gauge cable - ~$12
    ~24" 4 gauge cable (i think its 4) - ~$6

    Only thing my friend had to do is chop my 2gauge into 4gauge to fit the terminal distributor thing I had.




    Every morning is an instant start now. Hit it once and she fires up.

    hmm well it started when i jumped it, it had been sitting for a few weeks though in the cold. i tried starting it and it would turn over but not nearly fast enough it was really slow and weak.

    Wow thats a deal. Swap everything over to your 89, keep the engine on the side to play with, sell off remainder of the body parts. Nice find.
