Hopefully not, been planning a trip soon , love the MPGs for those long trips. It would really suck if it rolled over because I want to get back into a truck.

Yes Ive done this with the 08 before. I had a battery at one time that when you stuck the multi meter on it you could just watch the voltage drop.
Currently, I can start and shut the car off multiple times and it still has the instant start up as it barely cranks and fires every time... so I doubt the battery is bad or close BUT Ill have to test it to know for sure with the meter or at the auto parts store.
Hasnt done anything since but we are about ready to get hammered with almost a foot of snow so ill be stuck at home until the snow melts off my drive again probly a week as temps are dipping to the Negs by mid week and next week into the 60s... Crazy Misery, I mean Missouri weather.

Yeah, but really, how hard is it to poke the two Volt meter probes across the posts? The hardest work is taking the cover off the donut well. Oh, wait! You can do it under the hood!
