Is it my battery?!?!
I have always had an issue with my battery dying, I have a few posts from when I initially had the issues but now I'm wondering since I have troubleshot all problems & fixed if in the end my battery was **** anyways.
I'm in WI & when the truck sits say for 3 days without starting & it gets down into the teens my battery just dies & the truck wont turn over, If I drive it a few days in a row it starts a few days in a row, just seems when I park it for a few days to a week it just dies out & wont turn over.
So I'm an idiot but after having this thing load tested & what not that its definitely draining on these long sits, is it the battery? Which leads me to my next question if it is, What's a good battery to get?, I got the 5.2 & also run 2 different 1000w power amps.
thanks

If you are 100% sure there is no drain on the battery and it cannot hold a charge for 3 days i would say your battery is shot. I would recommend taking yourself to Walmart and getting yourself a Everstart Maxx 27N battery... these are made by the same people that make the Duralast Gold batteries.. the only difference is Walmart's price is about $30-40 bucks cheaper...

Well when I 1st got it I had these problems daily and tracked those issues to a bad rear wiper motor and locking mechanism that would drain on the battery while the truck was off, some simple maintenance fixed these & nothing then drained off the battery.
Fast forward a few weeks and I start realizing my bass is dropping in n out from my kicker box, I was driving daily so didn't have the non starting issue, All wires & grounds checked & all are in good condition. Someone told me a bad battery could be the culprit & now last couple weeks its gotten way cold again & I haven't driven it & now the batteries dead.
to me I assume the batteries dead as all fingers point to it I'm thinking.
