The really sad thing is, that I have all these goodies to go on, and the holiday week was perfect timing. I guess I have to cram it all in on next weekend.

Sorry for the misleading title. But I am happy to say I have no Ex wife. Same woman for 21 good years.

LOL! It's the opposite for me!

I've been reading and learning about the Excursion for a few years and now, whenever I hear Ex, I always think Excursion first.

PS - No Ex anything for me, either, except the Excursion. 17 wonderful years with the same beautiful blushing bride for me!

Never had an Excursion but we do have an Exploder.

PS - No Ex here either, going on 19 years here.

And since I've never owned an Explorer, you should have seen my reaction the first time I learned of that moniker for that SUV!

Unless Ford has a fancy split-charge system for each battery (which I highly doubt) you should probably replace both batteries at the same time. Otherwise the two different (different in age, brand, whatever) batteries will accept charge at different rates, causing one of them to fail prematurely.

Why would you want to fix the ex-wife? I suppose if you wanted to keep the ex wife as a "friend witn benefits" it would be fine.
