sorry for the delay. being unemployed is no fun, i seem more busy now then ever haha.
it's an 85 f250, 351.
i think I might know what the problem is, but i don't know how to start fixing it.
ill have to get a picture later today, I don't have one on my camera at the moment.


For one, the battery is held in place with a bungee cord, and then the starter solenoid seems to be very very messed up.
it has what looks like solder holding the + end of it together, it's extremely loose. and the only reason I noticed it was because my truck refused to start today until i jiggled the + end of the solenoid
is it easy to replace one of those?
and should I invest in a proper tie down for the battery?
