On Monday while it was warm out, I picked up a case of Fluid Film spray cans and one of those white disposable zip up suits. I pressure washed the truck top to bottom and went to town with the fluid film. It should hold off the road salt and rust for another winter.

When to start it and she turned over once and stopped, then nothing, same ole problem, every so often the positive terminal at the battery gets a little loose.

Simple fix, although it may be time for new terminals one day...

Come on stew you can get brass ones for like 10 bucks lol

I used to have issues like you. Then it drove me so crazy I basically redid all the connections involving the starting and alternator system and have not had a problem yet.

Well it's a minor inconvenience at the moment, it's been months since the last time it happened

Bought a socket for the axle nut so I can do my ball joints this weekend hopefully. My new tires came today. They look sweet and 4 wheel parts has fast shipping. Only took 3 days. Think I'm going to get them put on next weekend. Just debating whether having the shop align it or trying it myself.
