Default truck is possessed

the battery sh** the bed already, but i am going to blame that on the the woman and her father who like to move the truck whan at the ranch, and they are furd drivers, so they always pull the key all the way back, which we all know as acc. in dodges and completely drained the battery mutiple times.

since its been cold out (20-40 deg) the TPMS light has been comming on, but goes out after about ten mile drive

the stupid gascap light is back after being gone for about two weeks, which also sets the CEL and kills the remote start, which makes for some crappy cold mornings and the last time it shut the remote start down, it jammed the back up cammera on at all times, but went back to norrmal with a key cycle

on a side note, i pulled the blue top optima out of the derby car and it's been fine since, in early spring i found the optima batt in our junk battery pile at the shop, some one pitched it for some reason, i charged and tested it OK, made it through two demo derbys (no altinator) sat since july, hooked up in the car, and fired up the dak with no extra charge, good testimate for them

Electrical demons suck. In the race car, I had one for the longest time (slow batt. drain). It took 4 years of "once in awhile" voltmeter testing to finally find it, 5" tach power was a constant 12V source...even though the light bulb was off...it would still drain the battery....f&^%, lol.
