    My truck was having a hard time cranking this afternoon, and now all I get is the click, click, click of a dead battery, but the little eye in the battery is still shining green? I also heard a pretty loud click behind the glove box before it died...any suggestions would be very appreciated.
    Thanks

    Truck: 06 with the six cylinder It is too early for a dead battery isn't it?

    I dont think 4+ years is too early, especially if you're in a cold climate like CO. Did it start up ok w/ a jump?

    Sounds like a dead battery.

    OP, take the battery in to get a load test at Autozone or a similar place to make sure.

    It was just the battery, guess those little eyes that shine green if charged don't work. Thanks
