I got a chance today before the storm hit [ 12 inches and still coming down!] to take a look at the truck. On Friday I had the battery shop near me make up two 00 gauge battery cables. Today I installed them and ran a good ground strap to the frame, started the truck up and no problem, the amp gauge is now steady! The truck cranks over real good too with good bright lights...Only 5 months before spring! Thanks for all your input guys!
