they're the side post type that screw into the battery, but i'm basing cleanliness on visual inspection only. it won't hurt to take them off and add some vaseline anyway. i just need the motivation.

Good...Hit the faces of the posts with a wire brush while you're at it..

You see DC current is real suseptable to interuption by the littlest bad connection...That's why some lighting problems on cars (dim or out) are more than likely bad or cruddy ground points...The connections to the battery are also a weak point and need good clean contact to pass all the current the battery can deliver on start up...A bad or corroded connections is like a big resistor and it will also get hot.

Good luck..

Motivated?..Try 102 heat..Man it's so damn hot right now, that the garage is like an oven.[sm=badbadbad.gif]

Ok, so we want to talk about heat now, huh? Try 135 in the shade, a kevlar helmet, and body armor that weighs about 20 lbs and a 30 lb machine gun with another 15 lbs or so of ammo, then you mount up into your truck, and with the engine runnign and the transmission working hard with the weight on the truck, the cab is now well over 150, but you still have to keep your gear on. Temps like this and you are looking for a coat at 105. 90 and you are freezing.

just a little prespective of what our troops live with.
