I was in a hurry once so i let wal*mart put a battery in my truck (smart move

lol!) i have recently discovered that the battery is way to small for the truck. I am supposed to have 2900 cold cranking amps and with the battery they put in i only have 600

The battery seems to run out of juice before the truck starts idling well so if it dies im outta luck unless i have another vehicle nearby to jump my truck with. I know the battery is not just to old cause it will power the AC heater lights and everything else but just not enought to crank!

so the moral of the story is...

no matter how much of a hurry your in don't let the interns over at walmat touch your truck!
