Now that the truck starts fine and runs good, what are the chances of keeping it a little longer , lol. ?

 

I would love to because I have an old bobcat that this would make a great tow vehicle for. But the reality is I don't tow it except maybe a once in a blue moon if ever. I'm paying insurance and taxes on too many trucks cars and motorcycles I got to let go of something LOL.
Thanks again for all your help.

 

Where I was going with the so called humor,
There was a guy that managed to turn the mileage back on the odometer of a vehicle he had to sell.
After he was done , he decided to keep it because it had such low mileage.

 

what am I missing about chargers or meters?
granted this isn't about the original post, just an anomaly I figured you smart guys would know something about :-)

I assume throw this charger away?

set to automatic

the first time I connected it said 12.0 now 9.2 wtf

 

Hi Marko,

I believe you are trying to get a reading of what/how much the charger is pitting out, correct?

Your meter leads should be plugged intonthe10 amp connection of the meter.because you want to measure amps.

When measuring current (AMPS) you need to use the amp function of your meter, OK.
After placing the RED lead in the10 A socket on your meter and the black lead to common of your meter, just place the charger black lead to your meter black lead and the charger RED lead to your meter RED lead. That should give you the output of the charger. OK. The current must be connected in series with your meter.

 

So it should not necessarily show 12 volts DC when it's supposed to be a 12 volt charger?
