Re: Battery charging issues

UPDATE, I was able to get to working on the 49. Detached all battery cable connections, straps and cleaned all surfaces with wire brush and sand paper. Charged the battery and the truck started up. I shut it down as I did before then it started right up hot. I di this several more times waiting longer between periods of rest. Next is the over night test.

During my research the number on recommendation was to clean everything and it seemed to work, however I also read lots of recommendations to update the battery cables to 00 Gauge. Is this something you guys think I should do? Right now the hot to the starter is 2 Gauge. Thanks for help everybody.
