you are going to need a battery. Replace it. the have the alternator checked to make sure it is charging.

Some parts stores will charge and check your battery free of charge. If its dead, they will tell you.

damnit i think you jinxed me. My battery took a shit today. Think it has a bad cell. Ill find out tomorrow. Take the battery and have it load tested and maybe take the alternator just in case, if you dont want to make more than one trip.

Not true. I tried to jump atart a buddies truck for so long the cables almost melted once. then we just put my batt in his truck, drove it home, then went back in his dads truck and put my batt back. His battery wasnt just dead. It was dead as in never coming back.

sorry i took soo long, what color top ? cause I bought the red top at atuozone :) and 2 small ass wrenches, took me 2 trips cause first two didnt fit, but 2nd set got the job done :banana:......so yea takin the battery out was a bitch with those tiny ass wrenches especially since my hands barely could fit in them tight places. plus I didnt know there was another bolt holdin the damn battery so there I am like a dumbass tryin to yank on it, haha. so I took a bit to unscrew that 3rd one but when I did I was glad, next went my new bad ass battery, I screw them nuts back in and jump in my seat with a big smile and prayin to god my baby starts, and booom!!!! we're back in business baby!!!!!!!!!11 thanks for all u that helped me out, I knew it was just the damn battery. :D

its always nice when its an easy fix and ya you want the red top. I let mine sit for 4 hours and think about what it was doing and then it started ;D . my boss told me the jumper was in the back and i said just wait a second i think it has had enough time to think about what it is doing and then it fired up. He laughed pretty hard :)
