Ya it was the batt. Even though it passed the charging system check and the hydrometer test. At 59 Deg when loaded up it only put out 470 AMPS and did not recover so well. I've never seen a batt do this before. typically you loose a cell and can see if that happens.

I guess it sulfa-ted and gave it's last start a month ago. Lesson learned. I know know both starters are in good shape and that I will need to do some batt cable maintenance in the near future.

THX for the help.
