then a small Romanian old made car called DACIA with a 1.3 litre engine jump start my Truck , can you imagine the humility, man. after jump starting the truck the engine light stayed ON, till after I changed the battery . Now it is off.
The I went to service shop that sells american parts to change the battery, when I was waiting there to have the battery installed, another 07 drove in to the shop to have the brake pads changed, some noise was coming out hie rear wheels.
Sorry if I am getting off the subject here, but this was a complete surprise for me.
when the technician took the rear wheel pads off, the right rear wheel inside pad was totaly worn and got to the metal and took a bit of the thikness of the disk, the rest of the pads were half life. the guy had only 17,000 miles on that truck , how come that only pad was totaly worn out ????
Any how changed the battery and kept the old one to have the second battery installation done.

Out of curiosity but how come you did not go to the dealer for a new battery since the battery is covered by the factory warranty?
