Got a 2000 1-ton with the 5.7 Vortec that also goes through distributor caps like crazy. Last one I put on was a Napa "lifetime warranty" one about a year ago. Had the one cold day we've had this winter (-20F or so) where it didn't want to start--wore down the battery trying, then re-charged it and while it was charging I popped off the cap, cleaned & dried everything and sprayed it down with WD-40. It did start then and it's kept going since, but I'm sure I'll be fighting with it again--the usual times it bothers are when it's been raining or it hasn't been run for a couple days, both of which indicate to me it's getting either condensation or just plain leakage somewhere. Doesn't help that the seal isn't 100%--GM cheaped out and the cap's held on by two teeny screws self-tapped into a thin plastic base, and someone stripped one of them out (which a bit of Internet research showed to be a common problem with these) at some point before I got hold of the truck. Once it warms up I may have to see what I can do with that--possibly either JB Weld or a longer, larger screw depending on what I've got to work with.

It's a common problem for old machines especially when the weather starts to dip below 40 and the tractor isn't fired up as often. You are probably used to the 12 volt Diehard, charged with 200 amp alternator of your 3/4 ton that always is ready and always starts. It's this type of experience that brings about the many queries we get for 12-volt conversion kits. Since only a few kits are available (we sell kits for the
