Drove into Autozone with a dead battery around 8:30 pm, turned off engine,
and went inside to buy a new one. The two sweet young ladies would not
install a new one because it was dribbling rain off and on. I asked for a

So if battery was bad then why wouldn't it even crank with battery
charger set 225A start mode. Why did it initially crank with
battery charger and now not?
Somebody once told me that it takes more like 1000A to crank one
of these diesels over, if it's on the cold side.

Ok. I was thinking about CLP...not LPS..CLP is for guns and such.
We don't have LPS here.

Right. Such as
in my experience with bicycles, i don't use WD40 for anything except
cleaning stuff off; things that need a lube get a light oil.
WD40 is a Water Dispersant, not a lube. if you don't get it all
off, it becomes a dirt magnet.
cheers!
