yep and most interstates are made by Johnson Controls.....who also makes motorcraft and optima also.....

I've had great luck out of Interstates. The one on the Expy is over 5 years old. I normally just change them out after about 4 years. $70 to $80 at Sam's Club. When you do a monthly cost, hard to beat. The only time I have been stranded was with the OEM on the 2005 at 35 months, with no warning.

Yea, I won't purchase a Johnson controls battery any longer. They use to be alright tho.

Mine is made by EnerSys. Actually it's the only battery Sears offered that is nothing more than a Odyssey with Die-hard markings. Comes from the same place as the Odyssey batteries. I like the flat plate dry cells. It's pretty common for these batteries to go 10 years plus. They are the best in category IMO. The only (best) competitors with Odyssey IMO are XS Power, Kinetik and Braille. I wouldn't mind a carbon fiber battery, - Braille. They're only 15-20 lbs depending upon how much battery you need lol. I swear that one I purchased is at least 40 lbs, - prob more.. I mean, I wussed out and got a cart lol.

That sounds pretty cool. I've been watching cartoons. Been doing that as long as I can remember. I like the old coyote roadrunner ones.

Right those little umbrellas won't deflect boulders as big as a truck. The sound effects in surround are bad ace as well. I dig'em lol.

Man, the sites slow to react, it's taking it's time that's for sure.

What's the deal with the pics being links now? conserving space?

And, good morning.

Nobody knows? Is there a link explaining this perhaps?
