$100 Pickup truck update, Bobcat Troubles again...another darn rant: government and responsibility
What happens here
Open the hood of the Ford pickup truck. Using a wrench, carefully disconnect the battery terminals, starting with the negative terminal first. Once disconnected, remove the battery hold-down bracket, and then lift the old, dead battery out of the engine bay. Place the battery in the bed of the pickup truck for transport to the battery remanufacturer.
Goal: Remove the dead battery from the truck for replacement.
