So for the past month or so, i have had an issue cranking in the mornings. Its not every morning, but its enough to tick me off.
What it is doing is that it will fire up, sputter, and all electronics cut out, then the electronics come on and i can crank again. After that sometimes it just dies and nothing comes on. I have cleaned my battery terminals and wires, and the voltage reads 14 like it should. There is no cel either.

Edit: this morning i popped my hood while it was running, after it cut out the first time. I noticed that my ac compressor cut off so i went to look at the switch because i thought it was on and it was, so i turned up the fan speed and the truck cut off.

when does it read 14v?
When it is running. It decided to crank after jumping it and is doing fine now. Went by autozone to have the battery checked and it was good, and the alternator was charging it like it should. Where are the main grounds at? I know theres one on the frame but arent there several?

After my calculus 1 exam tomorrow, the burb will be down for a few days getting a facelift. Going to paint my new grille, rear pillars, new filler strip, and wire brush and paint the frame horns, bumper brackets, and the inside of the bumper. Going to be a different look for the old burb, but i think itll look great.
