some of you know some of you don't well i bought hal's truck. it aint the fastest thing in the world but i do love the way it looks. it will be fast before long. trust me. well heres the dilemma i have. he never cranked the motor before i got it for more than a mintue. well now it will crank on its own about 3 times but it turns over slow and then after about the third time it doesent crank any more. but when it does crank it sounds damn good. we basically have it narrowed down to 2 things. the battery or starter. any input or things to try? if no one has n e thing to add ill just try those.

p.s who put the thermostat in this bad boy? haha

o yeah it has 13 volts at battery and after i went to crank it up the fourth time and it wouldnt it was at 12.7. ima load test it tomorrow.
