Re: Want to hear a story about my 350 v8 in my truck?
Yes I have! I have a '94 chevy truck we call the dump truck because about the only time we ever drive it is to the dump, or to haul a load like gravel or mulch. It has 230k miles and has been very reliable. Well, one day it wouldn't start. Battery was dead flat 0 Volts. My Charger wouldn't touch it so I took it to AutoZ. And they charged it up. 3 days later dead. They replaced it. 3 days later dead. I finally got off my but and traced a draw to the courtesy circuit. Turns out the light in the glove box was staying on because the hinge is broke, so I removed it. Good for 4 weeks then yesterday it was dead again! Had them charge battery AGAIN and then found I had somehow pinched the lighter wire in the hinge of the ashtray and when it was open it had a direct short.
I'm an electrician but I hate automotive electricals! I even looked at used trucks yesterday, it gave me incentive to fix the one I have!
Good luck, and good to see you posting again, Rg
