Post Just a little update

Hey guys a little update on my truck.

I dropped the pan (even though he said there was no fluid in there, there was a **** load...) but i went to clean the solenoid... but i lost that little mirco ball. FML right? oh well so i jsut bought a new one, put it in, filled it with some fluid and both the batts i had were dead... bummer eh? i even jumped both of them and it wouldn't turn over. sooo ima try a bran new batt from a family friend. and hopefully that works.

Does that sound like the problem? i sure hope so. Any thoughts?

As far as I know, when you install a new gov sensor(assuming thats what you mean) there is no little ball that should fall out. So, that may be the problem right there.

i got two dead batts. it wont turn over. it cranks but wont turn over. the lights work and all but when you go to turn it on the light either go dim or off all together. even when i jump it the same thing happens.

Get a good battery first, then we'll go from there.
