The truck is running as of today, the starter turns over nice. The battery is a little tired, though. Five years old, so I suppose it is time to invest in a new one. They are pretty spendy over here, about $150 for the cheapest. I'll be in MN this summer, maybe I can bring back a good old American battery in my suitcase.
Lidköping is a nice place, but I am hardly ever home in the summer. Myself, I've never been to Texas...
