    Recvd tracking numbers from Mike; both batteries hit Marana, AZ end of day tomorrow. My 'new' LS2 powered FZJ80 should be running shortly after their arrival.

    Many thanks again to Ramon and Mike for all the 'heavy lifting' !!!!

    image.jpg I love it when I can stay on top of proper maintenance for my truck. The Florida heat murders batteries and installing the northstar will give me some battery longevity. I will be adding the new TRD bracket shortly. Needed longer connecting rods, and the man is already on it! Anyway the truck started up fresh and Smooth! Thanks @ramonortiz55 for the great buy! :cheers:

    Sounds like the one you got has a short. Interesting, in the two group buys, this is the first one I've heard of coming DOA.

    None of the pics of batteries I saw from the last group buy had that GP emblem on them either. :notsure:

    Is Northstar or Samoorian paying the cost of shipping the bad one back to Northstar?
