Other then that, pretty darn good.

Back to the topic that this great thread was started for[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] the 7.3 PSD[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

This morning I went out to start my truck[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] and it wouldn't turn over[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] there was hissing, chimming and clicking going on[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] Check the red/green idiot eyes on the batteries. The passenger battery was red[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img] the left green[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]. Hooked the battery charger up to it and was able to get it started. Took it to the local Ford dealer, they checked the electrical system. Right battery had zero, notta, zilch CCA's[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] and the left had 410 CCA's[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] They didn't charge me for the test or their services to exchange the batteries[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Got 2 new batteries for $200. Both have a 4 year unlimited replacement warranty[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] I was happy[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

My window is also working better too[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

It's been raining for 2+ hours[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] If we weren't moving this weekend[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] It would be nice to take advantage of this unusual weather[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] we are having[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Well that suck that the batteries went, but they are fixed so it's good now.

Maybe the rain will stop...though a nice little rain up until the weekend just might change my weekend plans. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

All in all, I wasn't really stranded[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Used the wife's car while the battery charged enough to start the truck. Can't complain, the batteries were the originals with 103,800 miles on them. And I would estimate, they turned over the PSD 10+ times a day[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

I'd say that's not too bad.
