I have the truck as said in the title, with Off-road package. It's my DD, so I need to fix it fast. Just after doing the clutch/slave/pressure plate on it I am having trouble with my battery/starting. All yesterday (day after fixing it) I had zero problems starting it, however this morning it did the 'slow turnover to nothing' and didn't start. Had to bump start it, then again twice more I'd turn it over and these times it would repetitively click as if the solenoid wasn't getting enough charge.
Then just a little bit ago, after bump-starting it (again...) and parking it, I immediately tried turning it on again and all I heard was the clicks. WTH is going on? How is it draining so damned quickly? I have to get my battery tester new batteries (coincidental) before I start troubleshooting, but the truck battery was replaced less than 1.5 years ago. No problems electrically till now. I need a suggestion to a starting point.
Thanks so much!
