I went to Auto Zone and got some $4 bottle of battery clean. Works great. Truck starts alot quicker now.

Problem solved.
good to know about the Pepsi..I tend to drink a lot of it.

One of my batterys has a crack in it right by the negative post. Its sunday nothing is open. Autozone has Duralast. So I guess I'm going to be running a Motocraft on the driver side and a Duralast on the passanger.

There goes another $80
