    Did you weld or disconnect anything? Leave the door open and run battery down?

    No welding done...no doors open...I'm puzzled...I charged it last night, I'll see if it holds the charge....

    I did take the battery out to get to the driver's side UCA bolt......

    Busted CV boots and lots of squeaks.
    Clean the Battery terminals and cables and then snug them up real tight.

    Nope, worked all day...it's holding fine since tightening the cables and giving it a deep charge.

    youre electrolytes are probably imbalanced, you need to pry the top off the battery and fill 50% water and 50% with gatorade in preffered flavor

    even better if it has pee in it, the ammonia helps the batteries cells absorb electrolytes


    why do you think bear grills drinks his own urine?
