2018 Toyota Tundra Battery in Murray, UT

Four common signs are slow cranking, dim headlights, a battery/charging warning on the dash, and battery age over 4 years.

In the Salt Lake Valley, short trips and seasonal temperature swings can stress a truck battery. If your Tundra hesitates to start or accessories flicker at idle, schedule a quick battery and charging-system test. Larry H. Miller Toyota Murray provides OEM-spec replacements and proper recycling.

• Slow engine turnover on cold starts
