[QUOTE="simaster, post: 1716979, member: 7062"] I was out of town and I apparently left my driving lights on. Unfortunately by the time we found out, the battery was dead. I replaced the battery when I got home. I forgot to let the truck sit for 6+ hours while the it 'relearned' everything. I started it right up. I drove it for 20 minutes and when I got home it would not shut off. The electrical would shut down, but the engine kept running. I had never encountered this. I wound up disconnecting the battery (fail) and I ultimately had to pull a fuse to get the engine to stop. I let the truck sit overnight with a reconnected battery. This morning the truck would not start. Battery completely drained. I can confirm there was nothing 'on' to drain the battery overnight. I checked fuses. No issue. Could it be I bought a bad battery? Probability is greater than zero, but pretty close to zero. I am using an Optima Yellow top Not sure what to do next. I could put a new battery in it and try this all over again. I could have it towed to a dealer... Any thoughts on this? I'm at a loss here... [/QUOTE]
