Got my truck home this afternoon. When I looked at it, we pull started it since we thought the 7 year old battery had given up. I bought the truck and a new battery. put the battery in today when I went for the truck, it still didn't crank. Turns out the starter brushes were wore out. The gentleman I bought it from (small used car lot) held a brush in with a screwdriver, she fired right up and I drove her home. being very careful to not stall her. MORAL: Check the battery before you condemn it on age alone. I don't regret buying the battery, winters coming. The starter is cleaned up, waiting for tomoorow to pick up a set of brushes. John
