Battery
#31
Battery just died on me this afternoon...05 33k need a new one with better CCA.
Figures it's a florida truck so it has always been warm and the first day we 50* weather she decides to crap out. What are some good but cheap choices out there? remember im not working so any high dollar ones are gonna have to wait.

No, not necessarily as they are made to Walmart's specs. I would not buy one myself.

Well to let everyone know i went to costco and picked up a optima red top for $129 with a ten dollar core exchange so it came to $119 but i must say it looks small in there compared to the stock motorcraft but it has 720 CCA but now my edge wont program and it says program error F1 with a P1000 DTC?

Which brand of battery you buy doesnt matter as much as how long the battery has been sitting on the shelf after it was filled. If a lead acid battery is not used sulfates will build up on the lead plates which drastically shorten the life of the battery. When the battery is filled a sticker is placed on the battery showing the fill date, if the battery has been filled for over 6 months dont buy it.
