If it acts normal when you have moved them around then maybe its a short you can't see inside the cable

Pretty sure I nailed the cause of it.
Fukken bad ground cost me around $150...
Well it was actually 3 bad grounds. Not too sure which one was causing the issues though. The ground strap going from the body to the frame near the bed was about frayed apart.
The ground from the battery to the block was loose on the block side. My buddy must not have gotten it tight enough when we changed the water pump a month or so ago or it worked itself loose. Who knows...
And the negative terminal itself was bad. The groove where the cable sits on the terminal was cracked on the bottom almost all the way through. I'm guessing when it got hot and expanded, it would lose connection.
Hoping this is over and done with

Thanks guys. I'm hoping that was it. Started fine when I left work last night. Got in her this morning and she busted right off.
Im just glad I got it figured out. It was driving me crazy not being able to figure it out
