I had a starting issue with my crew cab and it was the OPTIMA Yellow battery on the 12 volt side. It was 3-1/2 year old battery and would go dead after two days(6 months ago it would go dead after 4 or 5 days). Load test showed weak after I recharged it.
Put a new OPTIMA Battery in and no...
They told me the same thing about 4 months ago on a pallet from Florida to Utah. I tried it a week later and they sent me a quote(good to ship).
I sent the MRAP light kit on a pallet. It took 3-1/2 weeks to get to Utah. Then when the guy went to pick it up, they wouldn't release it to him...

Having a starting issue again with this truck. Going to clean the battery terminal's to see if this is the problem.

Started the truck this morning after the long trip to Iowa and back. Had fuel leaking under the truck.
Opened the hood and fuel was spraying out the side of the injector pump. Looks like o-ring failure on the side cover. Screws were tight.
I took a side cover off a used spare I had and it...
Took a few pictures today. Engine looks good. Batteries will not take a charge.
Nice never used jack setup behind the seat.
Going to drop the fuel tank and make sure it's clean( fuel cap was missing and who knows what went into the tank )

Replace fuel...
Made it home at 6 am this morning. No issues.
