Hear the other noise? That's me spending my money where I want for the best deal I can find. Even a better move.

yep, keeps the economy going, but if one cares about his/her country his consideration should be what is best for both. I for one have not yet found anything at walmart that I can't find for the same price in other stores sometimes at even less cost.

I'll take those blinders with my Flag. And buy you a round in a bar if we meet.

Edit: And this is FTE, a Ford Diesel section of said site. The OP asked for our opinion about Batteries. He didn't ask about a good battery and where the Left would buy one if they knew how to change one. So lets stay on topic before Cookie or Ryan have to lock this down and the OP ends up not getting the information available to he/her on this great site.

Damn! You're in Ft. Wayne? I'm in Indy. So do you hand carry your UOA samples to Blackstone or what?

Hey Jason, this is FTE, a Ford Diesel section of said site. The OP asked for our opinion about Batteries. He didn't ask about UOA's and whether he has to turn Left or Right to drop off his samples. So lets stay on topic before Cookie or Ryan have to lock this down and the OP ends up not getting the information available to he/her on this great site.

PS -- just havin' some fun with ya! I'm sure you know that though.

Yeah I do hand deliver my samples to Blackstone. They always have dozens of samples sitting on a desk when I go in there, I never knew they do so much business.

Orezona, I'll be at the DHRA in Indy and also at the 4-wheel jamboree in the fall. Hopefully I'll see you there.

We also go to the big show in Lima, OH around Memorial Day.
