Well blow me down! Who reads the manual? Especially after all these years!

I guess that plugs and wires are in the upcoming schedule.

But look at the money I saved all these years!

 

You may want to get a new coil it could be a bit roached after running the plugs that long. Your coil was working at its max to give you a spark taxing it as your plug gap widens the coil works extra hard to give you a spark this will make the coil HOT they are cheap.

 

Thanks

 

I will try the WD40, as this seems more likely than the battery issue. I only say that because if it were a battery issue, I would expect similar problems as the temperature continues to drop, and I don't. The worn out seal would also help explain why I don't experience any other problems when it's wet outside or raining after the truck has started.

Thanks for the suggestions. I will post if I ever truly find the cause.
