ok so i replaced the blown coolant hose yesterday and was putting it back together today. i got it back together and put some coolant in. i go to start it up i turn the key the dash comes on the fuel pump primes and all seems well. i go to crank it.... everything shuts off like the battery is dead. battery is not dead, what could be the problem??

Check your battery ground. I had this happen and thats what was the problem.

One of the battery terminals not quite tight enough?

Things will work ok, until you need lots of current.

Then, a little 'snap', and the connection goes open. If so, just snug them down again, and may be ok..

that's what i was thinking.. clean terminals and crank em down

Won't hurt to follow the negative cable down and clean where it bolts to the battery box and elsewhe

cable so try to feel for any breaks or soft spots. if you can't find any loose connections and everything seems fine, i would replace both battery cables. that's probably where the problem is if everything is tight.
