great truck

Want to do upgrades, but gotta get this fixed any help please???

 

Have the alarm removed..... if its not wired properly gonna keep dragging down batteries and probably cause you all kinds of electrical probs in the future

 

Agree ^

Disconnect all wiring to aftermarket alarm.
That is the first place I'd suspect problems.

 

If you have the band type clamp with the 5/16 bolt head on the battery it stretches and does is not tighten to the battery post right. If you can turn the cable with the bolt tight you need to replace the cable. I had this it worked for about 2 weeks and then I had to clean the cable but it seemed tight.
Good luck

 

thanks!! - will try this weekend
