    Oem for now came with the truck last 2 days been struggling to crank. Getting a optima on Friday, had one in a Silverado sat unhooked for 1 year while in Korea came back hooked up an truck fired right up an lasted 5 more years. Optima in a Titan lasted 6 years is why.

    Optimas are not what they once were, something to do with change in manufacturing process/location.
    @Tsumara has two in his rig and is currently having issues with one.

    Ummmm... Duralast?

    Whatever auto zone had that was cheap and had enough juice to run my winch.

    See! Global warming is a conspiracy concocted by the shadow government to sell more cigarettes to children so they can push out privatized healthcare and replace it with government healthcare!

    I knew it.


    :rofl:

    I used to run nothing but optima in my Jeep. The last two I bought wouldn't hold a charge at all. I thought I had some sort of parasite drawing power so I started disconnecting the battery when I parked it for more than a couple days. Same thing. Dead batteries. Switched to a cheap auto zone battery just so I could run it occasionally, no problems, starts every time. I never disconnect it.

    :notsure:

    A little something every chance we get.
    Good morning SATX. The weather station said 25* was our low. Got up to use the bathroom, saw that, and promptly got back under the covers! Gonna try to get the car inspected again - yesterday the state computer was "frozen" at our ONLY Inspection station!

    Cars and Coffee™ San Antonio



    -2nd Saturday of each Month-
    *******0800-1000 hrs!*******


    19595 IH10 W
    Oak Hills Church Lot F

    March 9th




    Parking is more available if you arrive by 0700 - 0730, picture shows where to park. I have annotated on the map but we park near the trees on the other side. Hope to see you all out there.


    We’ll we have done this a few times and it seems to work well for the group, since we only have a two hour window for the SA Cars n Coffee each one of us brings a few things for the group. Typically we see some taco’s, donuts and someone usually brings coffee. We ask though if you bring something that you need to take it with you as we need to make sure we keep the area clean as the Church has service after the show.

    Tag me if you gonna make it and I will add you to the list.

    Thanks, good tip. Do you ever have any issues cranking up the runner when it's cold? just curious how the 4.0 does with a 400CCA battery. Seems like it should be enough, but just curious
