How long you think they last?

 

Yep didn’t realize the cost may go with vatozone platinum when the time comes.

 

Damn that's an expensive battery.


Nevermind.

 

Till they die

 

Better be the last car battery you buy for that price.

 

Ikr
And no happy ending either

 

I was willing to pull the trigger on the odessy battery with rago but they don’t keep them in stock, so ended up with a die hard battery group 34, out the door still was close to $200 but do have 36 months full replacement

 

Weren't we just talking about batteries in here.

 

Yep the other day we thought they went tiddies up.

 

They're always listening...

 

@Texoma did it in about 1.5 hours. Didn't look hard. Pull axle, bushing and seals. Replace and torque everything up.

 

Got a bushing install this evening. Steps are,
Drain diff (30ft#'s)
Jack vehicle up
Remove two bolts from LCA to spindle (118ft#'s)
Pry CV seal dust shield out of way
Pry CV out of diff and move out of way
Remove axle seal
Remove needle bearing
Install bushing flush with housing
Install seal flush with housing
Clean CV seal and bushing ride surface with 1500 grit sand paper
Tap dust shield back in place, I use some RTV to help it hold better
Stab CV backing diff
Lca to spindle bolts back in(118ft#'s)
Drain plug in diff(30ft#'s)
Fill diff with up to 2qts oil
Fill plug in(30ft#'s)
Wheel on(85ft#'s)
Wheels on ground
Enjoy

 

Cold beer

 

Today is not Friday for me

 

Yup. AGM batteries. Deliver lower resistance, higher output, last longer. I got the marine grade (deep cycle). With all the crap I've been wiring up my stock battery was leaking. No problems with this one.
