How would i go about checking if the GPR has power? Use a voltmeter? i know that now my batteries are really dead as to the point of not being able to crank it anymore. i waork at a battery place so i am going to charge them and try to "wake them up" when i do charge them. the problems all started when it started to actually seem like kind of winter out here in So Cal. Its getting pretty cold out here at night (for the region anyways) its down to about 45...
But you think low batteries could cause a hard/no start?

UPDATE - I pulled my batts to charge them andtest them. turns out one had a broken post inside so i will replace both. is it possible for the truck not to fully kick and start because or low or slighty low batts? (truck would take a while but eventually fire, but now low or no cranking) will replace and hopefully see tonight...
