Guesses

 

Hints first

 

Another jeep

 

How many legs?

 

Radius arm suspension

 

Another ford super duty

 

part of one, yeah. Front frame section with all the brackets I need, coils, radius arms, axle


Of course I just got ball joints and tie rod ends for the leaf spring front in the mail today Think I'm still gonna install them and go through this axle this winter

 

You dont have a solid axle in your ford now?

 

I do but it's leaf spring. The coil front knocks 8 feet or so off the turning radius which is pretty big lol

 

Makes sense why you would swap then. Definitely worth it.

 

I hooked the Mercedes up straight to the battery leads on the Tacoma. 13.8v from the E320, same thing. Slow crank.

Checked resistance on positive alternator cable to positive battery cable, 0.5-0.6 Ohms. Normal.

I'm stumped.

 

Took it to AutoZone and tested it, it passed. I suspect it's still bad.

 

Doubt it.

 

I would suspect the same. At least replace the contacts and plunger before you put it back in. Here's the kit I used a year ago. It's literally a 10 minute job.

I’m sure it’s something stupid

 

You sure you dont have a lose lead

 

Is English your second language?

 

None of that stuff should cause a slow cranking starter, a loose or broken ground would just cause it to run rough.
