TODAY is a Great Day to visit our Store and order the parts you need for your truck!
I have a 1983 Chevy k10 silverado my battery suddenly went dead after just a couple of days. It has never done it before until now after it has been cold for a few weeks. I cant find anything that is on no light or radio. The battery is new, the last owner put it in a couple of months ago. I traded out the battery for a old one i had and it started the truck right up so i plugged it in to charge overnight, then this morning i unplugged it.When i went back out tonight the battery was once again dead.just barely to push over one small crank and then to just kick on the starter. The battery is still reading a full 12 volts. So any ideas.
well I finally found the source of the draw. So yesterday i was feeling pretty good and decided to go out and work on the battery issue so i pulled all the fuses and it still didnt go out. So i tried the fog lights which have a inline fuse, but still no luck. So i decided to try the alternator again just for kix and what do you know the light went out. So now it looks like i need a new alternator. And the only reason i didnt spot it before was because the radio pulling to I wasnt able to notice the alternator going out. So now my next question is that how many amps should i be looking for the new alternator to put out?
