Well it didn't give me any problems this morning. I never did get up to go to church (Sorry big guy ^_^) but when I walked out at 11:00 it started up just fine. My truck always holds about 10 volts when its shut off, and runs 13 when its on...always worried me cause our Suburban would be like 12 or 13 when it was off, and 14 or 15 when it was on. I think the battery may just be weak, so I will go ahead and just get another one. Maybe an Interstate battery if I can find one - Bobby Labonte! Anyways, I'll go ahead and do that - I just wish I knew why my truck went dead that morning. If it works good from now on - great! I just want to know what killed it that morning. But..if it ain't broke..don't fix it.

Thanks guys. Any ideas on a good battery? And no..I'm not gonna get a Optima! =P Friend of mine's Camaro REFUSES to start unless its got an Optima hooked up in it. Sucks to be him. I'll stop at a local parts store before I go to Walmart if I can...I'd rather pay a couple bucks more for the little guy then 5 bucks less at THE OPPRESSER. Thanks for your help guys.
