    OEM Deuce Batteries

    OEM Deuce Batteries

    Thanks for that as when I was backing up the other day my friend saw sparks come out near the rear of the vehicle and I found some wires that the insulation had been rubbed off and I think they might have shorted to the frame. Now the truck won’t start and the batteries are reading 7.5 volts...
