Another Dead Battery on the truck this morning.. These Motorcraft batteries are nothing like they use to be! The one on my 03 KR Lasted 7 years, Moms 99 Cougar lasted 12 years, dads 01 f150 is still on the original Motorcraft battery. This is the 2nd battery that has gave up on the Eb.. Im going to Sears and get a Diehard or Possibly a Exide. Never had a problem with either of those brands.

If Ford ever left a bad taste in my mouth it would be Ram and then GMC for me. Chevy isn't on the list since I hate how it looks.
Should have gotten a 5.0. There's no tiny little electric motor to keep powered.

Speaking of GMC. If you're looking for something funny to watch, type this into youtube search "xRG_T580Heo" or "2015 GMC Duramax Runaway". I think they say the S-word a couple times so I can't post a direct link. It's 55 seconds long. Watch it until the end.
