ever since i got the truck it takes about 2 times of turning the key to get it started.... i was thinkning maybe it was the fuel pump.... and lately its been getting harder to start.. . like more times of turning the key and making it catch....

any ideas of what the problem is?...

 

[onyx]

it just has trouble turnin over....

its an optima yellow top... i just put it in in april...

 

[onyx]

yea, ive been meaning to check the regulator.... i changed the filter awhile ago, and that didnt help....

 

[onyx]

it was cranking at the same speed all the time... until recently... the past few days, it has been cranking a little bit slower...

its going ticktickticktickticktickticktickticktick hella fast

the starter is in the lower left part of the engine bay, looking in from the front, right?

and its an optima yellow top, i just put it in in may.

ok i think its the battery.... other than explaining the problem to blownchevy and him telling me a million times that its the battery....

i just went and tried rolling up my windows... and good lord... they took so long to roll up... definetly the battery... i wonder if i have a short somewhere that would be draining it? maybe the crack in the top of my battery isnt good either..

well my buddy came over and we jumped the truck... sure nuff it started up... stupid cracked optima battery.... so i went and got me an AC delco battery, since thats all i can afford right now...

 

[onyx]

well.... i just wanted my truck runnin so i wasnt really thinkin... but its running now.. it was the battery... got me an AC delco...
