Wow! What a charge!

I have a 97 F-150 4.2 5-speed manual. The truck was assembled in 96 with the original battery. I consider that battery to be the best one I think I have ever had! How has everyone elses done? Oh yeah, that`s at 103,000 miles! and still strong!

Sept/Oct of 03, the Delco in my wife's 02 TrailBlazer was replaced about 3-4 months after that due to a dead cell.

My 2000 f150's battery I had to replace in Dec. 2002 due to dead cell so it can happen with any brand. Replaced it with a Delco (free couldn't turn it down) and it leaks more than the truck burn oil.

my family has owned probly about 30 new ford vehicles and we have never had a problem with the batteries. for a long time my grandfather traded trucks every year and we really never had any probs.
