[70 shorty]

Dead Parrot, I think you're on to something and I was thinking along the same lines. I think I'll replace both battery cables. I took the cables loose at the battery, all looked clean and shiny, bu I hit them with a wire brush anyway, then took the main battery ground loose from the engine and cleaned that even though it didn't look bad either. It fired right up and I've been driving it all day. Many starts all day with no problem. That being said, I've done these exact steps before and had the truck running fine, and this was I'd say no more than 6 months ago, as opposed to say 5 years ago. Hence my thinking of starting with replacing the cables. Cheap and easy enough.
