Tried to crank my truck today. 625a marine battery, fully charged. Truck will turn over, very slowly. Cable end at the battery was branding iron hot…
Truck has sat up for a year. Oil is at the right level. ATF may have leaked out. New distributor and eelated including sparkplugs. Tilt column does have the standadd Squarebody sloppiness.
Battery was flat lined in “MAYBE” 3 minutes. Last time it did this, the starter switch and several fusible links caught fire. Started and alternator have about 6 years on them, but little actual use.
What do I need to check? Rust free 85 C10 swb with a 4.3.
