After plowing 6" of snow off the driveway I installed a new starter on the engine. The plan is to head to FL next week. Yesterday the roads were all cleaned up from the snow on the weekend. Decided to go fuel it up, park it close to the garage doors so we could start loading up things that won't freeze. No, start, just a click. It's a brand new, 1 week old, 1000 CA, 800 CCA battery and the volt gauge dropped down to 9 when trying to start. Hit the AUX start switch to jump the house batteries over, same thing. Put in another fully charged battery, same thing.
So I pulled the starter yesterday, got a new one and put it in today. Started right up. So if there are no major snow storms next week we're back on track. Over 70" of snow here this winter and no warm days to melt it. I'm more than ready to get out here.
