Fueled her up with some Sam's Club Diesel and some White bottle Diesel
and picked up 2 Cat 850 CCA batteries for $116 a piece, with a 36 month warranty, CAT is having a 10% off sale.

I didn't know that they were sealed. But from the photo I would say that they are.
I may go that route because I was looking at mine the other day and found I have
the wrong batteries in the truck thanks to the OP. Silly things are 650 CCA WTF!
That would explain the grumpy starts in the winter.

No I got them at Wyoming Machinery, a CAT dealer here. They also have the full strength ELC coolant for $22 a gallon, I don't know if that's a good price or not.

Sean, that might be ok in Washington where it barely gets below 30*, it is 17* here for a high of 19*!!, I know because I lived in western Washington off and on since 75!!
Well I did it... Ordered a 2016 F150 Lariat today.
This example is a 2015 Kingranch, but shows the Blue Jean Two Tone and 20" wheels
Now the waiting begins.

Very nice, Congratulations!
I am amazed though that people can afford new trucks now days. I mean a guy could buy houses around by me for the price of even the cheapest trucks out there. A KR 6.7 F250 price would buy a pretty darn nice house by me. All of which are so far out of my price range it is pitiful. A little jealous I admit but more it just shocks me that that there are jobs out there that pay enough for people to buy trucks like this, plus a house, boat, cars, the whole bit. It makes me feel as though I have been just wasting my time doing everything I have been doing all my life.
On other notes I changed my fuel filters the other day and almost did not take a bath in diesel. I got one coat sleeve when some dribbled down the frame rail. This has to be the first time I have ran the full 15K and I think I'll go back to 10K now. What I really need to do is pull the tank and HFCM and clean all the lines and parts. Ir almost looks like sand.
Sean, one of the best things I ever did to this truck was to move the HFCM to behind the transfer case. It will be the last time you ever get a diesel bath.

I agree. I would love a 6.7L F350 but I can't see $70K for it. My plan is to keep the Ex for a long time and eventually find a used pickup so I can buy a fifth wheel, I will probably keep the Ex even after that. If I didn't have any other obligations I could afford the F-350 but even then I have other things I need to spend cash on. I plan on buying mountain property before a new truck, a much wiser investment IMO.
just been driving mine for a while..towed the flatbed and dump trailer with my new prodigy P3 brake controller yesterday. sooo much nicer than my old timed unit. friend who has a tuned/deleted 6.4 drove me home from the bar in my truck last night, he wants a 6.0 now lol

My V10 uses at minimum the 750cca but I Have the 850 CCA and would not purchase a 650CCA especially for a diesel.
