    I rarely drive my truck since I have a company truck and am currently working 7 days a week......

    Since that nice ice storm my battery will not hold a chage. Diodes OK, charging OK, drops voltage after sitting for 2 days so bad it won't start without a jump. The tester at Autozone says I have a "Slow Draw"...

    Today I unplugged the Aeroforce and my brother drove it around town and the voltage was higher than when I checked it last night.

    The only other thing not stock is the Valenitine concealed display so I am playing the hunch here on the Aeroforce first.... This weekend I will try and disconnect the Valentine.

    I don't have a drain but that $300 pos is messed up. I have to tap on the face to get the back light to come on. It has gotten worse and worse and my gauge isn't even a year old. I have heard of this problem over on silveradoss.com . I can't remember what they came up with for a solution though. Later

    No problem with mine in any way, but I drive it everyday.

    Why not just unplug it when it sits? It isn't that hard to plug back in.

    Good luck.
    Gone, but not forgotten!
