The terminals might have been replaced but all it takes is a lil film on the battery terminals that will cause issues. Saw this exact issue on a box truck. Everything died when the key was turned

Hey guys. When I pulled my head off, I noticed the front head bolt had a sealant on it, and when I youtube 4.0 head gaskets, a video I watched mentioned it.

What sealant is it?

Could a bad downstream O2 on a 98 effect gas mileage? I'm still completely stock with 225 tires and getting 11 mpg..
