Attempt to start

Kristen wanted to work on the truck. I was reluctant but I decided to. I thought we should try to start it. Took the battery out to it, hooked it up and it only made a clicking noise. The battery must be low on power. Then we tried jumping it with the other truck and no battery. It started to turn but would not properly crank. Will try again some day with charged battery and jumping.

A guy at work (that has built a lot of engines) suggested spraying WD-40 into each cylinder to make it turn over easier. It has been sitting so long everything is dry. So with that we should at least get it to turn a few revolutions. If it starts it will be a minor miracle.
