    You definitely should replace all your bat trees.

    My total understanding about electricity is if I get WIDE AWAKE in an INSTANT, I got electricity.

    Where have you been for the past couple decades?
    Auto shop is no longer a part of high school.
    Those kind of classes went away a long time ago.

    Common Core has no place for Common Sense, after all.

    A jolt from a coil pack is the only thing I know of that can give you wood and then take it away, all in under a tenth of a second. And BOY HOWDY does it hurt!!!

    I've had it happen, but I can't think of it as hurting.
    It is a jolt, for sure. But very little actual pain.
     
    Cattleman84 and Lepton1 Thank this.

    Sulfating seems to only happen when there is a 23% or more difference in battery capacity - not accountanting for age - so most group 31 batteries are within 15% of capacity, but group 65 and a lot of agm batteries vary in capacity.

    Also agm batteries are charged differently than lead acid plate batteries.

    You can park the truck and protect your job by listing of deficiencies on your inspection.
