What Did You Do To Your 2ND GEN RAM Today?
The original looks like a fog light lens... the aftermarket looks more like a spot light lens.

How dare you curse like that!
But I'm not sure, think I've had the truck either 5 or 6 years now, so who knows, could be factory.
When starting I get the normal low/dead/dying battery, noise, just enough juice to turn the motor and then bam it starts (and stays running with a little help from the gas pedal) (after that it runs and idles without a hitch)
The battery terminals on the truck were always in rough shape and every so often it would induce a no start, I'd have to remove and clean and tighten (tighten also being the issue), the connectors to get good contact, the negative side wouldn't get tight so I had to use a nail to take up some space.
Started the classic theme again on Thursday afternoon, completely normal start Thursday morning, but I wasn't able to resolve it normally, had to settle for a slow/weak start, ending up cutting off the old terminals and switching the style of connector but even after that I never got a "normal" start, and while it may not be completely accurate the volt meter on the dash is lower than normal...

That's the terminal I went with, Part # AC178/A1500101
