Where did that engine ship from? The OSB they made the crate out of was manufactured by my company and I’m trying to figure out which mill might have made it!

there are only 2 or 3 battery manufacturers in the USA, so doesn't matter the "brand" that sold it to you, it all came from the same place. I typically recommend Walmart because they carry the best warranty

I like the Walmart ones as well - since I spend so much time on the road for work it’s nice to have so many locations where it is easy to get warranty service if I break down while out of town. Oddly enough, Walmart doesn’t carry the correct size for the Escape - I usually have to go to Autozone to get the correct unit in a version that has any kind of appreciable warranty. Seems strange since there are so many Escape’s around.....

It had the appropriate foot print, and cable locations, and went right in?

I would love to own Jim's time capsule Expy, just don't have a "need" or more importantly the space for it either

I made a typo on the age. They are 18 years, not 28 but still too old probably.

No need - if it came from NJ the board is almost certainly from our mill up in Houlton, Maine.....

I may move down there, the swamplands look like home to me. I’m turning into a Cajun. Had biscuits with Steens syrup, Chicory coffee and bacon this morning. Got to where chicory coffee is my favorite. May change my name to Boudreaux and move to Bayou Tesche.
