Yeah I think I have a battery getting weak. Started it today after sitting for almost a week, it was single digits over night, not plugged in (wasn't planning on driving it today) and it almost didn't start. It actually got to a point where it slowed down even more, then just before I gave up hope and let off the key it popped off. I had questions about them batteries, it seemed like one was weak. IDK what I'll get for batteries. I'm going to try and redeem the warranty on these first. They have the 100 months, but I'm not sure if I can claim it cause I didn't buy them, they came with the truck.

If you go to a store to get new ones and you bring them with you you should get some $ off the price tag

Just tried it again and it's zero outside. Same scinereo except this time I waited about 20 seconds after the light went off. It turned over slow bit started rather easy. Next chance I get I'm going to check the batteries. They are approaching 3 years old, and I know diesel batteries live a hard life.
