ok so went to crank it over today with the plugs in. been on a trickle charger all night last night. nothing. hook my charger up to it. same thing. let it sit there for a half hour hooked up to my 2006 dodge charger sxt. nada. zip. so either my battery is fried (optima red top) or my car just dosnt have enough juice to jump the truck. going to pull the battery out tonight and either take it tonight or tomorrow morning to autozone and have it tested

Got a voltmeter? Check the battery. Then start looking for where you lose power. With the cables on does anything at all work?

put a rag over the plug holes when you crank it then smell it to see if its water or gas blowing out

quick update on the truck. its running but a little rough. still have to add some fluid to the diffs front and rear do the brakes and install my k&n again. plus change the oil again do to some cloudiness which i am assuming means that some water still got exposed to te oil system after i did the last change. not throwing any codes and no grinding or knocking thank god.
