Man, thanks for all of that. I’m going ti check those links and read up on anything I can find associated with that info, but I just wanted to get back to you real quick regarding the battery.
So I just did cam and lifter rebuild on this thing, while I was doing it I did find the ground wire from both heads to firewall was snapped and not ground to firewall. I thought weird because I haven’t noticed anything too crazy electrical wise (besides stupid AC blower fan terminal to TIPM coming loose, shorting out and eventually melting itself).
But I was able to break out my soldering supplies (I used to enjoy building copper distillation units ) and I soldered it back together.
Fast forward finally get the engine back together and on the road. Like 2 days later I notice starter struggling. I take it to test battery and it was smoked. Luckily they replaced it under warranty.
So anyway, I saw some codes in the system just after that about low voltage etc and just figured they were related to the battery issue which was replaced. So I’ve cleared them and I think this is the only one that seems to come back? Maybe that helps by eliminating the battery and probably head/firewall grounding straps and I should troubleshoot more connections?
