Re: SkinnyG's '61 Apache

Subs are in and hooked up. Older Alpine 4x feeding Rockford 5.25" fronts and Soundstage 6x9's in the cab corners, older Kenwood Mono feeding two older JL Audio 10" in parallel. Sounds wonderful.

Did another dump run, and the truck wouldn't re-start. There's a click, but no cranking.

Jumping will start it and then it's fine many times in a row. This is the second time it's done this. Inconsistent. I think it's a bum solenoid.

The alternator is pushing 13.7V at idle, the battery is seeing all of it. Battery sits at 12.6 after shut off. 12.6 at the starter. I'm running 2ga from the battery to the starter and 2ga for grounds. It's been fine almost all the time, but twice now it's clicked.

Grrr.
