install battery gave old core back.. Guy said.. YOUR DONE ALREADY? That was Fast.. Yep, I carry Lots of tools & Not my first time!!. ;-)
New battery installed. Instant Crank!!.. Happy again.
I use nothing but Interstate Batteries. Best lead acid ones I've come across so far.What battery did you end up getting? Mine are getting a bit on in years so I'll need to do this, probably next year or so.
Yeah Costco has been out of those AGM’s for months. I’ve been checking there periodically for a long time.I wanted the 24F AGM interstate Battery. Luck would have it.. Non on shelf!!
Ended up with a Interstate Group 24F From Costco. $100.00 no sales tax! ;-)
Installed in parking lot.. NO beer was used to install Battery.. 10 minutes & socket set.
Battery was slow cranking and dropping fast with Colder temps arriving.
If i could have waited.. would hold off, for a AGM Battery.. Was lucky to be able to fire it back up after 12 hours sitting. haha.Yeah Costco has been out of those AGM’s for months. I’ve been checking there periodically for a long time.
Agm Battery Shortages
My battery has lots of corrosion and is leaking. It was also manufactured in May 2009, so I'm guessing the used dealer put it in as a refurb or something last year. I'm wanting to upgrade to an AGM battery, but there appears to be a pandemic-related shortage. Costco says Interstate just...www.xterranation.org
Our two cars both have Interstates from Costco. Can’t beat the warranty they have.

It’s the evil twin’s fault. You decide which is which.NO BEER was used to install battery ?
Who are you and what did you do with CHUG ???
Added that to my ever-growing list of things for my X.Installed this little guy in my X tonight. I still need to get a new battery, but at least this will keep the old one topped off enough to work in the meantime.
Now if i did not have to drive, and not in view of Public with hood up and yanking battery out.. Would have had a Beer sitting on the Engine. To keep hydrated and or Case a Electrical fire. ;-)NO BEER was used to install battery ?

That or invasion of the body snatchers?Is this that thing where one always lies and one always tells the truth, so you ask either one what the other would say then do the opposite?
I use it once a month. I buy it by the gallon and refill the little containers myself. If I think my system is really dirty, I use a heavy dose of Seafoam or two.Pit the Lucas oil engine treatment into full tank again. Does this stuff actually work? Probably not gonna buy it again.
I was gonna use it every oil change.I use it once a month. I buy it by the gallon and refill the little containers myself. If I think my system is really dirty, I use a heavy dose of Seafoam or two.
I also mainly run BP/AMACO or Citgo gasses. They are top tier with detergents and other treatments added when they are produced.
They say it works. I haven't seen any proof but their's that it does. But I haven't seen any proof that it doesn't. It gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling and I think it helps so I keep doing it.I was gonna use it every oil change.
Next is to learn how to operate the new remote start/security system on that new rigAlso did the new crank sensor today and transferred over the battery connector's from Odo . Repaired the electric line's for the light bar and rear plastic corner light's . They came up along side the battery from underneath and were squished tight and had to be cut out after playing chicken with the tree !!
What mileage are you at now? I can't find the thread where you brought this up.Dumped a bottle of sea foam in the gas tank at fill up today. Hopefully I can improve mileage a little bit. Currently at 14 with no tent or awning.
If you're into the LucasOil version of it, those are 2 for $9 at AutoZone currently.
14 on my last tank with no tent and no awning. Earlier this year I was able to get 15 with the tent.What mileage are you at now? I can't find the thread where you brought this up.
I mean total mileage on the vehicle.14 on my last tank with no tent and no awning. Earlier this year I was able to get 15 with the tent.

Ha. My bad. Right under 90k.I mean total mileage on the vehicle.
Within the last two months. It had already gotten worse over the summer. I didn’t notice any difference in the immediate next tank after the CAI but it did improve slightly. I was also being conscious of how I was driving… with the exhaust and CAI I think I was heavier on the pedal for a while.When did you install your intake? I’m wondering if that’s affecting your mileage somehow. I know they claim improved torque and HP but nothing about mileage. Have you been monitoring it before and after doing your exhaust too? For what they are, I’d expect better from both.
