jump to start..... every time!

yeah thats what i figured im gonna have it checked out by a friend that has a dart and knows what hes doing

Only thing you need to buy, and you should have one anyhow, is a decent multimeter, available at any parts store for 15-25 bucks

Only tester you won't have is a legitimate battery load tester. Any GOOD parts store, do you have a battery supplier in town, like Interstate or Western?
