Sounds like a battery issue to me too, especially when you mentioned that colder weather makes it worse. If you have one bad battery, then you only have a marginal amount of juice to crank the truck in ideal weather. In the winter time and in colder temps, all bets are off.

i was just about to ask the exact question, i have a ford courier work ute and only drive my truck on the weekends now, the other day i stopped at the shops and turned the car off and it sounded like my indicators were on and flashing like crazy so i turned the key back on and it stopped but i had no power at all after turning the key off and on a couple of times it all came good. does this sound like the batterys are on there way out also.
i did check the batterys with a multimeter and one was a couple of volts lower than the other...

it just seemed weird cause it has never given me a problem before ever, i'll give the batteries a clean and see how it goes.
when you say check under load, do you mean having the engine running with maybe the headlights and the A/C going.
