I'm all of a sudden having issues with my 88 F150 (4.9, 5 sp., 2wd). I had been running it for 1/2 a day stopping here & there on Friday, and when i was at my in-laws house, when i went to leave the battery was dead. (less than a year old too) after putting in a new battery (everything clean, bright & tight), I drove to the farm, and then home for the night.
Yesterday morining I again took out my truck to run a few errands, and when I came out of the bank, I got nothing again. It didn't take a jump the day before, so Dad and I just towed it back hto the farm instead of messing around with it because we had other places to be. I put his charger on it(newer one that will test your batteries), but it said it was good and checked out with 12.6 volts. Left the charger on 2 amp charge overnight but still nothing. The dinger will sound with the key in when I open the door, but turn the key and it looses everything.
Anyone have this happen? Ideas? Probably gonna tow it to a shop tomorrow after work, but it'd be nice if there was something I could check out first. I need it to haul a load of hay and the garden tractor back to the farm by the end of the week.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
