Truck won't crank this morning!

It sound like my battery already dead! Little to soon i think! No warning or any error codes appears on display! Juat wont start, I measured 12.4votls should I go replace it at AutoZone or wait for dealership to open tomorrow?

 

If you have a jump starter pack you can see if that will help start it, otherwise you might as well wait till you can get it to the dealer.

 

Check your water levels. Charge it if you have a charger. 12.4 volts when it i sitting there doesn't matter. The voltage will drop when you turn over the starter. You are probably dropping to about 7-8 volts when are cranking the engine over. Which isn't enough to start it.
use distilled water if the water levels are low.

 

Mine was replaced,with only 10k miles due to battery leaking fluids.

 

I did put a jump starter on it and it cracked right up! So definetly battery! The question is with all the tech future I was thinking there should be a maintenance light with check battery or sonething!!right? The other thing is should I cough up 150$ at AutoZone or stay home today since all dealer close on Sunday and try to go make them replace it under warranty tomorrow!? I'm a month shy from2 years and 43k miles so far!

 

If you have 43k I think you are out of warranty unless you bought something extended.

 

I have the platinum 100k miles warranty! Wasn't sure if that cover the battery!

 

That should be covered from what I can remember

 

My 2004 Tundra's battery lasted 10 years and still worked when I replaced it and I live in a cold climate!

 

Yeih by Benz side at 7 years! That's why I was pretty surprised when my truck had a little hick up starting yesterday thought maybe I got dirty gas somewhere then this morning the igniter tried few times before it cranked so drove to the gas station and filled up after that it didn't crank at all tried a couple of times before I put the jump starter on it!

 

Toyota. "It's normal"

 

So if dealership complained about replacing it what battery u all recommend?

 

I always get nervous talking about batteries cause I'm afraid I am going to jinx myself. I think in all the vehicles I've owned I only had 1 battery crap out early. I've had 13, 11, and 9 year old batteries still function fine, now that I said that I will probably have a dead battery...

 

I like Interstate.

I'd avoid Optima, they're shit.

 

Yeih I didn't want to throw 250 on a optima!

 

I just keep going back to Costco batteries. Price is right, return policy is great and they've outlasted their service life in almost any occasion I can think of...

Most batteries are made by one or two manufacturers despite the label. Believe The Costco and walmart batteries are all made by Johnson controls???

 

Don't have Costco membership but sam' s should be quite similar

 

I think Johnson Controls makes the majority of batteries sold under tons of different brands, I would try to find 1 with the best warranty if Toyota does not give you a new one.

 

Yep

 

What is the alternator putting out? It could be a bad regulator and its frying the battery- I'd take it to the dealer if it's still under warranty. Have your battery dealer who ever you go to check it, but if you have a warranty use it.
