Re: Markeb01 Build Thread

So I hopped in the truck yesterday to go for a ride, and it wouldn't crank or start. I flipped the electrical disconnect switch back and forth, and it was dead as dead. So I got out the electrical tester, set it to 20V, and touched the battery posts. It registered .18V. So I waited for the wife to get home with the Honda, did the same test and it showed 16+ volts. I checked the truck battery again, and it still showed .18V. I also checked the electrical disconnect and everything was tight and working fine. It was time for another battery, as this one was over 6 years old. Plopped the new one in tonight, gave it a crank and wow the truck jumped to life like I just installed a new engine again!

I also discovered by "disc brake" pad fell off the pedal mechanism, so this time I glued it back on with black urethane adhesive. That should keep it on there from now on!
