This day the only change was a worse than latley cold snap.

Turn the key to the #2 position and read the voltmeter. See if you get 12V.
10.8 at the plug and 12.3 across the battery, with the jumper cables hooked up it would go up to about 11.2 at the plugs.

Brought the meter inside for an hour and tried it again and got consistant .4 ohm reading across all the plugs. I guess storing the multimeter inside will be the MO from now on.

I finally got it started after hooking beefy jumper cables and running it hooked up to the truck for a long time with a brick on the truck gas pedal. On many attempts it would spin pretty quick and even fire a couple time which seems should have started the chain reaction combustion going. There was smoke coming out the exaust many times suggesting a partial burn.

After I took it around the block I put the meter across the battery and read 13.8 and then it read 13.14 with the car off.
