I know you guys have seen this before but I can't find any recent posts. My '84 C4 is draining the battery big time while in use. New battery, alternator SEEMS ok (13-14v in use), but darn if it won't crank (<11v) after running, normally after several stops. Could be the old hot solenoid or starter, but it is not a slow crank like Chevy's I've had before, it is a clickey or dead no-go on the start attempt.
I've heard to put on an ampmeter (where does one get one of these outside of a weld shop) and pull fuses to look for load drain. I have not yet done a top-to-bottom review of the battery cable connections but I'm wondering if there are weak points I should look at first....Any Ideas?
A bit frustrated thinking about fusable links etc....
