Yesterday, my truck drove fine all up to the point that I stopped for gas. Got back in the truck, went to start the vehicle, heard a dull thump sound (not a click) coming from the battery area. Vehicle lights go dull, then bright, but when I went to start the vehicle all power goes out. Reading other forums I hear that it might be the cables, starter relay or even the starter itself. The battery itself is clean and so are the connections. BTW, a tow truck driver stopped and asked if I needed help. For poops and grins we decided to try and jump my truck. Hooked up the cables, and when I went to start, I got the same noise and HIS truck stopped running - and his truck would not restart. Anywho, my truck is at the dealership this morning and I'm awaiting the prognosis.. I know, I know - I hate to take it to the dealership... I'd like to think that I'm fairly well mechanicaly inclined, however when it comes to the electrical system I know I could end up wasteing alot of time chasing my tail.
Also, thanks to this forum I replaced my inner and outer bearings, seals, rotors, brakes and shocks about a month ago!
Any help or suggestions on this electrical problem are greatly welcome!
