    I've had good results on various vehicles (mercedes, volvo) with Deka Gold, and/or several different rebranded equivalents. Deka are made by East Penn. Interstate are made by Johnson Controls, those are the two largest battery makers in the USA.

    Bought a new grill for the taco today, since you know it's taco Tuesday and all.

    The rattlecan job I did on the chrome POS my taco came with was alright but just temporary.

    Yeah Interstate has a pretty good warranty and they're nation wide.

    I've ran Interstate batteries in every vehicle for probably 15 years. I don't get anything else.

    There alkaline batteries are shit, however.

    Guys. ..my fellow tw brothers. .help me

    I got a job offer at safe cu. Making $3 more an hour. My top out where im at is $3 more an hour. All benefits fully paid. I would go back to underwriting which i loved doing. I am currently a branch manager and i dont like the managing people bs. It is however a 40 min drive. I am currently working in wsac, the community i grew up in and helping my people. I been with this company for 11 years. Change is scary.

    Congrats!! I don't think you would've put it for the job if you weren't serious about making the change. It's also nice to know that safe cu wants you for what you enjoy doing. Do what's best for you and the fam. Plus, you can take the back roads into Folsom, and avoid 50

    Ferny.. any chance it's safe for you to approach current employer and say I have an offer to go back to underwriting and receive a base pay of this hourly amount to do it and see if they're willing to match the other offer?

    doing what you love plus more money? Seems like a win, but do the math on the commuting cost increase to see if it makes any financial sense.

    To start the new job at the ceiling of your current job sounds like a win. Sounds like there is more room to move up, and it's a bonus that you would be doing something that you enjoy more.
    Starting at a new job can be scary for sure, but it's all about what is gonna be better for you and the fam in the future! Good luck brother! :thumbsup:
