San Diego BS Thread.

Yeah I take that term lightly, I used to build them, most people have absolutely no idea....they actually have a really good weight bias when fully fitted.

 

Yeah I still dont like it!

 

X2... bring back the old forum! No longer fun to read the threads... well as much fun, anyway! LOL

 

The threads are ok when you get used to them but you can't delete pms. They don't stay where they were and trying to keep track of things sucks. Anyways. What's been going on. I've been super busy and haven't been able to keep up .

 

I need to get a battery. This one year old Toyota one has shit the bed and keeps dying.

 

I hate it. Work computer blocks it and that's my only time I get to cruise the web is on breaks.

 

They keep telling me it is good. A week of sitting says otherwise. Ive checked all draws so I know its not a drain from something on the truck. They don't load the battery and the surface charge to get to them ends up showing good. Over it so I figured id upgrade and replace this POS

 

sears diehard platinum
best bang for your buck

 

Damn that's cheap. Probably a die hard or top duralast seems really strong

 

Yeah that's my thought

 

hes alive!

 

Hey been lookin at the diehard platinum. Not sure which one is the best see a size 65 but the terminals are wrong. Does anyone know which one we need for our trucks

 

Thanks again for the suggestions. We were able to book a site at San Onofre right by a trail leading down to the beach. Good times.

 

I have a group 35 and it fits in the stock placement.

If you are going to get the Pelfrybilt tiedown it uses the group 31.

 

I run a yellow top optima in my truck for the last 3 years and had a red top for 2 before that the only reason I upgraded was I planned to run a lot more accessories., I run a new interstate battery in my acura.

I had bad luck in the past with sears batteries so I switched to optimas with great success, have not had an issue in nearly 10 years.

 

Ever since they switched the manufacturing to Mexico on the Optimas they are not the same battery they were before. I used to run the red top in my TL but after it died in 2 years the replacement only lasted 9 months. The Diehard Platinum has a great warranty, so if there is an issue it will get replaced without an ordeal. 4 year replacement and 4 year prorate after that. I've been using my group 35 for 5 years now and still cranking with tons hooked up to it.

 

My factory Toyota battery has gone bad around 3 years old (on all three of my Tacomas), and every time I just went to Batteries Plus store, got the replacement they suggested, and that was the last battery I bought. My 2010 I am keeping longer than my '01 or '05 leased Tacomas, so we shall see how long the Batteries Plus unit lives.
