    Found the solution after searching the forum and found out cleaning the MAF and throttle body will correct the problem I experienced. My truck has nearly 160k on it and this would be the first time they were cleaned since I've owned it.

    Link attached.

    My '98 had the original factory battery until it started leaking and corroding the terminals. (18 years old)
    It still worked just fine, I just replaced it since I didn't want the corrosion coming back.

    My 2012 OEM failed when it was 3.5 years old all of the sudden no warning. Got another one from autozone (forgot the name) but it was a copy cat from the OEM with a different sticker.

    Still running my stock '12. Just tested it tonight and it was holding a steady 12.61. I'll probably replace it before next winter if it doesn't fail by then.

    Had a 2004 4Runner before the taco, built in October 2003. That OEM panasonic battery lasted until November 2013. Even then it hadn't died completely, just noticed it was getting weak. Decided to replace it before it got too cold during the winter since I lived in PA at the time.
