    If your still within the warranty window let them replace it. Mine died at 30k.

    If you are outside of the warranty window or want an upgrade a yellow top is a solid choice. If your going to sell the truck soon no use in buying a gucci battery setup.

    What's the warranty on the battery? By Friday I'll be at 60k, so I'll be going in for an oil change anyway.

    Since I'm lazy and not hurting for money that badly, I'm thinking about just keeping the damn thing. I only have 3yrs left before it's paid off anyway...I could always buy a baller dual battery setup with my Christmas bonus, but not really sure if I truly have a need for all that.

    idk about the warranty on the battery, probably the typical powertrain warranty.

    When I went to the dealer the guy at the service desk told me the battery was probably good and they never have issues within the first 5 years. The truck needed to be jumped to be moved into the service bay, and had an open cell...

    No a group 31 is not worth it. You can get a good group 27f with a nice RC if you think you need that. I have a x2power 27f from batteries plus, it was pricey but it has a 5 year warranty.

    Hmm, well a Yellow Top seems to be damn near $300 regardless of size.

    I finally saw the gazelle pop up tents at expo east. Glad I waited, went 30% off this past weekend.
    Always looking to enhance my camping capabilities. This time I sacrificed size for quick & easy..
    Now I am waiting on my other investment, mid and transfer skids from SOS..

    Not if you are still wavering on selling the truck. Go to walmart and throw any stock size in it

    You still have a warranty with them and what I used in my old Taco..I got my life out of the Walmart ever start..
    My dad went earlier this year to a parts store and got a refurbished/blemished battery or something like that for his 150 and he hasn’t had any trouble..

    They are a little long. I got the 3 man. They haven’t got the physics right for a smaller tent,well at least what they told me.
    Was the 1st time I saw them at expo other than video_Other than the length,about 5ft, I believe I am going to like it.
    I always seem to be taking too much time to set up and take down camp so just looking to make some improvements. My knees and back are shot, so a little wary of a rooftop and risking a fall..

    Yeah I was thinking about one for me and the kiddo I could have camp set up a lot quicker and we could enjoy our time. Plus the size of it lends to us using cots than sleeping pads.

    I'm lazy and don't feel like cleaning it up and taking the time to take pics and list it...I'll probably just keep it, unless I find time and motivation one day.

    First world problems.

    Do you regret selling everything you had for the truck now?

    Not really. It paid off a credit card I had racked up nearly $6k on...
