tell us something new... say... when you look close does it resemble a chebby??
sure hope your problems are over soon Chris... either trade it, or perhaps someone will have a miraculous discovery about what is causing so much trouble...
im thinking the charging system is screwed, so the $460 i spent on an alternator that quit working 2 months later. its either that or a bad battery or combination of both, ive changed everything else on the stupid thing.
Hey their toon town crank I guess you should sell that ford and buy a Dodge!!!!LOL No on a serious note have you gave your batteries a load test. I know if theirs a dead short they over load you alt But it could be a broken wire some where.> Getting up their in years so the wires could be getting croded and may look good but are toasted give you wires around the alt a little pull but not to hard or their might be a fusable link their that might have fussed out
ok i guess i have 2 bad batteries. Went and bought a new one (hey if its not the problem then the 53 has a new battery_) and cable ends and now she fires right up. Its too bad crappy tire sells have dead batteries
hopefully its just the batteries. i know electrical problems can leave a bad taste in your mouth because where do you start??? i always use good "name" batteries... they seem to be best... dunno if its luck or what...
Ya know man, I think I may have a similiar problem with my truck eating batteries too. I bought one from the co-op like 1 year and a month ago and(1 month after warranty is up) the battery no longer holds charge.
I started the truck up quite a few tiems during the winter, and took it to edmonton a few times but it shouldnt have ate the battery that fast!
Thats the late 80's early 90's trucks for ya. I love mine, but Id be fooling anyone if I said it didnt have its share of quirks!
