battery check?
99 super duty 7.3 diesel, any experience on how long the batteries will last? Haven't replaced since new. Concern cold weather here soon and that one could go bad, would this cause any problems to electrical systems. Is there test that I should have done? Indicators on both batteries are green still.

If they were new in 99, I would replace them. I have an 01 Ranger and I am thinking about replacing the battery.
