2-24-2024: I am starting a new thread to discuss my possible wiring problem, which I mentioned previously: https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f116.../#post52492871
In the prior thread, I misdiagnosed the problem That is, the battery was normal.
I examined the ground wire from battery to bulkhead & the wire from Positive terminal to fusible link.
The wire to the fusible link is frayed!! Photo attached.
Can the terminal under the fuse box be repaired? I can't even get it out!!
Today, I replaced the frayed with a new section of 10 gauge wire and new connectors. The hard part was removing the 80Amp fuse tray form the fuse box.
I hope this cures my occasional starting problem.
You should check the other ground wire The one from battery - (negative) down to the AC Compressor mount. Or a spot where the mount should be bolted into the engine block. That's where the starter gets it's ground. Ensure both ends clean and free of dirt, grease, oil, etc.
You might also check the heavy cable from Battery + (positive) down to the starter. It bolts to the side of the starter, under a red rubber cover. Again, clean and free from corrosion, etc.
If the cable going to the fusible link is that bad, either of those other two could be as well. Especially the battery end, but the other ends could well be bad, too. Battery terminals tend to corrode under the lead pieces, and under the insulation of any wires connected to the terminals. Just something to bear in mind.
Saturday i checked the pos and neg wires from battery to attachments at starter and engine block. Pos (booted) was totally clean; Neg was a bit grimey, which I cleaned.
No starting problems in past week. Thanks
Is everything good now? Have you ever done that? Can someone do my assignment for me? then you are in the right place. Boomessays is the https://boomessays.com/do-my-assignment website that I always use to get my work done. A few days ago, I was so busy with work that I forgot that my assignment submission dates were close. So I placed an order with Boomessays, and they have done the work beautifully.

Several times since I declared my pickup healed, I have encountered a failure to start. The engine "clicks" several times, then goes silent after several attempts. When I use my external "jump starter," the engine turns over right away, but it doesn't start for 10-15 seconds.
Today, the jump starter didn't work: it was only at 68 percent. After I connected the battery charger and waited several minutes, it turned over right away, but it started roughly after 10-15 seconds.
O'Reilly has tested the battery twice and declared it "good."
What are the "clicks?"
Do any of you have a clue what the problem might be?
Rather than replacing some parts which might be defective, I decided to check the wires that come off the battery. . I checked the connection of the ground to the engine block the connector was dirty, So I cleaned with acetone and sanded it. The posts and terminals were a bit dirty, and the positive terminal didn't fit very well; there were slight gaps around the post. I installed a .002" brass shim and tightened it until I broke the soft, lead terminal.
I will replace tomorrow,
In links to responses above, I there was a pic of four grounds to the 22RE engine. I found two of them. The other two must have been forgotten when a local shop pulled the engine 14 years ago to work on the pistons and rings. I will work on that, too.
