Good evening guys.
I understand Jim. I just replaced the motorcycle battery on the K1200 1 1/2 years ago. It was over 10 years old. The truck batteries I just replaced last fall were the originals the best I could tell. The snowmobile battery was one year old this winter. Dead as a door nail...

We'll see what the dealer has to say today. I'll check the warranty before I complain too much.

Good morning Jim!
The golf cart doesn't surprise me, but the Mustang is annoying as hell. I got over 10 years out of the batteries in my '97 P-Stroke, but I've had this Mustang for not quite 3 years and have already had the battery replaced once. We'll see what the dealer has to say today. I'll check the warranty before I complain too much.
Think I'll start doiong this from now on. Dead batteries suck!

Good morning guys. Its snowing like mad here. Maybe that old saying that if May comes in like a Lion it will go out like a lamb will hold true. No wait, that is two months off.
I wonder if water from the river is bad for a radiator?
I changed the water pump and thermostat in the Chevy last night. I flushed out the old coolant and added new stuff. Apparently there was a big air bubble in the system and on the way to work it overheated and pushed out the bubble and a bunch of coolant. I had .5 gal of antifreeze with but had to add 2 gal of river water to it so I could make it to work. Good thing I was by the river.

Lee, if the river water is good enough for fish & turtles it's good enough for a Chevy.
We have to put a trickle charger on the car in AZ or unhook the battery or it is dead as can be after a few months of sitting. Too many parasitic things in todays cars.
