[QUOTE="UnSafe, post: 2196714, member: 100"] Interior lights dim? Charge batteries fully. If you jumpstart it, use the pos terminal on the exposed battery (Vehicle Right side) and frame/ decent ground. It'll typically take another diesel or big jumpstart pack to start a PSD. Look for interior lights left on, or other common sources of drain as well as the usual- You bought a used truck just in time to replace the batteries..... Think of simple stuff as the cause before you go off and start chasing complicated/ expensive stuff. If it turns out to be the batteries- My $0.02 is to use Walmart's Maxx batteries (65N). NOT because they're better (They're OK, BTW), but because in 3-4 years, when one or both dies at 9PM on a Saturday night in bumfu*k, you're never far from a WM and can use whatever warranty is left on the replacement. Try that with Interstate. Good luck, buy your oil in bulk and drive it forever! [/QUOTE]
