You should take a ride down 100 as well. Get the whole road construction experience.

Thanks Dave - Welcome home to sunny sub-tropical MINNESOTAAAAAAAH!!!

Dale, I've been bitten twice by replacing only one of the two batteries in a diesel truck. Now always do them in pairs and keep the good remaining battery for a jump battery or give it to a friend with a gasser.. Glad you're on the road again..

Over half of that was going down there. I took 169. I should have swung over to 494.

That is way better now than 169 is. 494 was only backed up a few miles before the construction but once in the zone it flew along.

Good morning Dale. Hopefully the other battery did not get compromised by the bad battery. Could be why this battery was bad because you only replaced the other one last time.

I've read that not having good batteries to provide good voltage to the ficm will eventually kill it. And you should always replace the batteries as a set.

Normally I do replace the batteries in pairs. The money tree was dead at the time tho.
The other battery checked out fine. The alt is also fine.
