Not sure if I am going to make it now....something is killing my battery :dontknow: ...I have to plug it into a battery tender....if I take it off for a day---the battery is completely dead....any suggestions on where to take it....don't want to take it to the stealership.....I would go, but the truck sitting out over night, then the battery will be dead the next morning....Boomer has offered to look at it, but he'll be so busy that weekend, I don't want to bother him.....

Sear's Diehard. They have pro-rated lifetime warranties. I always replace my stockers with Diehard once they kill out.

Did you check to make sure all of extras in the cab are unpluged. radar detector, etc. I was having the same problem till I found my phone charger cord was still pluged in, in the center storage compartment. just an idea...

I would but something is pulling....not sure if it is the radio or something I had installed from Boomer....I have tried pulling the fuses and everything...but hate to buy a new battery and kill it also...

I don't have anything such as a radar detector....I think it may be the sub because it will "pop" when I am driving down the road with the radio off...either that or I have a wire shorting out somewhere....need to find some where to take it so they can trace it down...
 
try testing for a short with a vom with the list of usual supects. In your case stereo, electric fans, sub box.
 
Hey guys, I really would love to go to GTG at X-Metal on April 28 and 29. There are some several problems because I don't know where and how to get there. How much $ should I bring with me? Where will I get a sleep? Will there a hotel or what? Also I am 18 years old and I know I am still young and little kid. Plus I am born deaf and it probably will be my first time to meet more and many people who own the same trucks. Maybe someone can give me more good information on what the plan is and what I need to know to bring with me to GTG? I will see if I can make it or not.

Thanks.

Money, not too aweful much , your gas bill will be highest:D

less than $400 should give you a killer weekend with hotel and all I owuld think

Motel 8 is directly across the road from his place, one of the guys here might have the number for them.Thats where most are staying.

saturday we will probably hang out, talk crap, tour the shop, do some cruizin, and go out and eat.
sunday he has a track rented and those that want to run can, and having a BBQ also at the track.

well..I should be going..I have to go to Cleveland, Chicago, and Columbus to look at some equipment for the plant. If I can get my boss to pay mileage for that trip, I will drive out to Cleveland on Thursday, and hopefully make it to somewhere like South Bend on Thursday night. Friday morning, I will drive to Chicago, and hopefully arrive in Evansville late Friday night. I can leave early Monday morning for Columbus, and be home Monday night sometime. I will find out tommorow about this..lets see..1550 miles x .44/mile = new shifter right?..lol
