   I meant to do this test today but was busy all day. Maybe I'll go try   
   that now... it's dark so would be easier to see if they dim! Hold on,   
   be right back....   
      
   Okay, the headlights did not dim even in the slightest. And again, the   
   truck makes no sound whatsoever when I turn the key. Not a peep.   
      
   The electrolyte is where it belongs, just below the fill caps, and   
   above the plates.
