87 c10 v6 4.3 liter wont turn over
So when i first got the truck a few weeks ago I could turn over the motor with the battery i have. Now When I try even with the charger on car start mode (150 amps) It just clicks once and all the lights go out.. whats the deal? i dont think the battery is bad. It doesnt have a lot of back yard wiring either. any clues?

Hey im sorry to hear about that, if you really think the battery is good id look into the starter because they generally click and dont turn over when theres an issue.

Test the battery, always start from the source. Not enough amps and the starter won't work, naturally. Always check easy and cheap first.

Re: 87 c10 v6 4.3 liter wont turn over
are you sure the battery connections are good? id also check the ground cable on the motor and make sure the ground strap to the chassis is good.. If all that checks out then check the starter..it really sounds to me like a bad connection at the battery tho
