actually I met jeffintd in the utility section. I was searching for battery info.
"walmart sealed batteries" got me going.
AND of all things. The battery in my daughter's car died today and I went to walmart for a new one and the new one I put in was BAD!!!
I added one more gray hair today

Ive seen that thread but havnt been in it yet..

I have had good luck with WalMart deep cycle batteries but havnt bought any other types.. i had a NAPA battery for a 72 Burb that died in less than 6 mos and a week. Warranty for full replacement was only good for 6 mos. i told them either replace it or Ill but everything somewhere else. Im not shopping there anymore.

 

batteries die when they want to.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] Murphy's law
I forget who it was but someone made a comment about me buying walmart batteries with the 3 year free replacement warranty. I just offered friendly advice. I think it's great with the heat out here. Used the warranty many times. You can spend a gazillion dollars on other brand names and they will fail. I had an Optima in my truck and it puked when I needed it most.

 

I feel the same way...ive bought 1 Optima battery... not doing that again... for over $100.00 its got got do more than look cool.

 

the heat is brutal in the central valley where I live... last trip to Pismo in june i had 1 GoodYear tire with less than 10K on it come apart on the way there...got to a tire place and noticed the other 1 on the same side had a bubble in it too.

sorry to hear about Cookie. Hope she is doing better.
I wish I could say I get used to the heat but it beats my butt all the time. I went for a motorcycle ride today and I was good until I stopped. 105*

 

The boat sounds sweet looking... I go to Pismo usually 2 times a year. in june and july... this year was only june..

Ive lost 20 lbs here in the heat and climbing stairs..Havnt been under 210lbs in almost 20 years
