61_FL_Apache, thanks for posting that picture. To my eye that cap looks really bad. I am not surprised that the truck would not run. I had almost no dust and corrosion. I live in SE Wyoming, that humidity is low most of the year, even in the summer when the winter wheat fields are growing it is usually less than 30 percent. I did have some erosion of the terminals and in other areas almost a buildup of metal. When testing continuity I had to scratch the metal to make contact. Maybe that was a sign. I hope I am not headed for cap and rotor hell in the future.
