Trust me, all of us here understands.

After installing the home-made mini console and big-deal GPS, Stereo, etc., I loaded up about 30 new
CD's into the Pioneer's "library".

Went out this morning to put in one more and the stereo shuddered and stopped.

Long story short, the new (one month old) battery from Pep Boys (Pro Start - sku 9151303) bled down...
....Any battery will do that...especially after treating it as badly as I just did.

The stereo stopped functioning at 11.09v. The truck wouldn't start at 11.09v. Wouldn't turn over.....
...."Click, click, click."

Charged up (I thought) the Pro-start. Nope. Used the start assist function on the charger...nope.

Jumped it with the "old" battery. Good news is that I had a great drive around charging up the Pro-Start...
Running in the high 13v's while the truck was running.

Bad (?) news: The Pro Start won't take a charge to over 11.82v. Then, out of the truck, it loses about
.01v every five to six minutes. Won't charge back up...It's going back to Pep Boys.

Got under the hood all cleaned up, repainted and wires rerouted and hidden as best I could. Hopefully my new clutch comes in tomorrow and the new engine goes in on the weekend. Name: image.jpg

Put a new right front tire on and installed a $5.00 air cleaner I got at a swapmeet. Yes, it's purple, for now.

Investigated why my dome light and backup lights don't work. No closer to a solution.

Went to a junkyard--nothing to be had.

Still looking for an OEM grill for my '72 Chevy.

Possibly bought an OEM radio, hopefully I can get it working.

Tried to convince my wife that spending money on my truck was a good idea...that failed.

My wife is starting to believe me.... at least she goes along with it for now, till I sell my stang and want to spend every bit of it on the truck.... lol

BigDaddyV · 05-03-2013, 05:49 PM

Sanded on the Storm and primered the deep notches... Wishing I could drive her to my buddies to get them installed.

DaddyO · 05-03-2013, 08:36 PM
