Re: Truck based woody
Actually the battery terminals and connections to the solenoid were gray and fuzzy. The kind of stuff I sort of expect with an old beater on six volts....The stuff we never addressed as kids with a 200.00 flathead truck, BUT, I have been all through this and re-wired everything a few years back, and 12 volt gm alt... ....still We have to keep these terminals clean. My suburban is a '99 and so it's 22 years old. I don't have to clean the battery terminals so I can get home from town. It's fine though. Any geek can drive a suburban and get home. . What I wonder about is that special grease on electrical connectiions, our dads used vaseline. Like a di-electric thing? What is that?
