I was running late this morning so I jumped in my truck to get to work a bit faster. I turned the key and heard that dreadful click-click-click-click sound of an engine stuggling unsuccessfully to come to life. I popped the hood and found that the positive terminal was a crumbly blue mess of copper and battery acid. I tried cleaning the terminal and found there was no terminal left, it was completely eaten away. I called a tow truck and took it over to the ford dealership. The tow truck driver was saying that "If it was my truck I'd fix it myself." I just love unconstructive criticism. So I have a new battery and a new terminal.
