    M35a2 electrical gremlin

    That's a great charger. My truck is a 24V but I have to charger each battery individually. According to the gauge in the truck they were charging, but I may have to go to Napa and buy a pair of new batteries.

    M35a2 electrical gremlin

    Thanks guys. Have my charger on them while I'm at work. Gauge on the charger showed 70% and 11.9 volts on the batteries when I left. Will see what happens tonight. Where do I find the star solenoid? Also mine has the spring switch not the push button if that makes a difference. It's an 87.

    Tire tube change questions

    It was a good example to my 7 year old son about perseverance. Granted my doctor saw me at church yesterday and thinks I may have given myself a minor concussion. I just thought I felt a tad dizzy from being dehydrated. But I got those tires to cooperate!
