All appeared good from the outside, but when I actually unbolted these then massive corrosion was revealed. One year later, I am still running on the same battery and alternator, but the problem hasn't returned due to cleaning up the grounds.
You might wanna look into it if you hit a dead end.

I will definitely check for corrosion. I hadn't really considered it for some reason, but experience has shown me that it can cause a lot of problems.
Thanks for the reminder!
