So I did what Luddite said. Disconnected the pos line, let her sit a bit, reconnected. Got same
readings with additional ABS code. Remote did the same thing.

Tried remote again...nothing. Tried to start truck with ignition switch and key...only a few rrr's.
Tried again. Nothing...only a click. I'd just recharged the battery yesterday, so I'm stumped. Put
charger back on battery. Reading went from 12+ down to 2.4 volts and stabilized. Left charger on. In
a few minutes the charger was displaying an error code. Tried jumping with wife's car. Nothing. Got
****ed...almost blew up the f'ing truck.

Went to the Dr for a cough. Came back, thought I'd try the charger again. This time it started at
13+ volts and stayed there. Soon it displayed 'charged'. Tried the starter. Truck started right up.

No more 'ctrl-alt-del'. Had me almost calling a tow truck.
