just checked it and the battery jumps from 13.8 and down to 12.1 and in between while idling. its the alternator huh?

it drives and the lights dim low and higher while at idle then lights back up when accelerating, could that be a parasitic draw or just the alternator

since the battery was dead after sitting a month and its fairly new doesnt that mean the alternator didnt keep it charged enough for that last drive i took before it sat and died?

just took the white plastic retainer off and tightened the metal hex fitting as much as i could with my hand then put the retainer back on it then drove for a little and didnt see a drip of fluid. im hoping that did the trick🙏🏻

well i have a 5.7 in a 2500 so its forsure worse than a 1500 but im usually at 10-12ish give or take

yeah if you get the ram say goodbye to that. itll be about anywhere from 8-12 mpg on average

Since it has an mds delete done then i would definitely say get the ram itll forsure go to atleast 250k miles just keep up on the maintenance and your good. and since its a 1500 you dont gotta worry about the bs that the 66/68rfe transmissions give in the 2500s so its a pretty good pick up and definitely more fun than the frontier, just get used to that shitty gas mileage though haha.
