Alright, I got a couple questions on batteries. 1997 K1500 5.0 Vortec
1. Im having a weird issue, headlights on, blinker on, if i step on the brakes all the lights in my truck cut out for a split second (super quick flash), no drop on voltage gauge. Could this be a loose connection on my battery?
2. In regards to the loose connection, am I able to re-thread my battery terminals? I used a stupid side post extender so I could add some AUX stuff and i managed to strip the threads on my positive terminal so I cant fully tighten my positive battery cable.
3. Should I run dual batteries or run a single yellow top deep cycle? Either way I go about it, something needs to be done about the stripped thread battery. So would it be better to just add a second battery (top post, maybe $200) and find a way to make a secure connection to my stripped one and have two regular batteries, or buy a new yellow top? ($350)
Thanks for any input!
