I WAS GIVEN A 4X4 91 SONOMA WITH A 4.3 AND ON MY WAY HOME THE NEGATIVE BATTERY POST MELTED RIGHT OUT OF THE BATTERY, MY THOUGHT IS EITHER
THE VOLTAGE REGULATOR OR JUST A BAD BATTERY, ANYBODY ELSE HAVE SOME IDEAS. THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN WRECKED IN THE FRONT AND MY FRIEND THAT GAVE ME THE TRUCK DID MOST OF THE WORK TO FIX IT,

THANX FOR THE HELP

If I was guessing it is a AC delco battery that has a bad problem from the factory about breaking loose inside were the cable goes on and then the extra resistance causes heat and you get the melt down look you have, a new battery will fix it!
