Mine did this and it was the battery. Chris had issues with his series 31 Die Hard at one point. Had a bad cell I think.
When my G 31 plat went out it was reading low voltage. I took it to Sears, they tested it and agreed that it was bad. This may be a different mode of battery failure however.
If a cell is dead you should not get a reading of 14 volts unless you are measuring with the truck running.
Did they have the starter issue resolved by '06 or are they all the same? My 2000 has started doing the exact same thing in this cold weather, but I just assumed it was time for me to perform the starter replacement.......battery shows good. (Sometimes, mine won't even turn over the engine; however, if I try starting it enough, it'll eventually turn over and start. Warm weather: starts like a champ).......still thinking it's most likely starter contacts.
Replace battery, starter and alternator at 49tire.
At least the starter is easy to change on these....
That's the plan for tomorrow. Working on both the cruisers. List is long.

I cleaned the contacts and tightened everything back down today. Gut tells me it had to be the battery. We shall see.

Did Sears load test it or just check the voltage? One bad cell can cause this.
No idea. It's going back to them sometime this week, will make sure they load test it.
#1 do a real load test with a carbon pile those electronic testiest don`t truly do that
#2 remove & clean terminals and main ground points
#3 red tops do to like modern aka computer vehicles they don`t stand up to the drain that is inherent
#4 if ya still want to run them then put a battery cut off in to completely disconnect it from vehicle
#5 hope it`s not the starter remember it is under the intake makes the PHH a walk in the park.

Looks good. Sorry I could not meet up with you.
Thanks, I'm very pleased. No sweat man, just thought I would check in.
