Have you tested them with a hydrometer? If so, how does the SG of the
suspect compare with the others'? Does it by chance have one cell that's
considerably lower than the others?
If you put a voltmeter on that battery and drive the truck, I suspect
you'll see it drop below the others under load, and hit bottom sooner.
You might actually get more range with that battery out of the pack.
