Battery Time
Well, its been 9 years and 90k with my orig. battery here in Minnesota. Its time to get a new one before i push it. I was thinking go with whats been fail safe for all this time and get a Motorcraft, unless there is evidence of anything better. thanks

Oddessey batterties are aguably the best availible. They are military grade, they are even availible with a steel case. They are quite expensive and probably overkill, but they are definately better than a lead acid battery and better than the Optima gel types too. I have used them in Minnesota and Colorado in the winter to start a diesel plow truck un-aided (no glow plugs, grid or starting fluid) in -40F weather without fail. I also had one in a trail rig with a often used winch. They are expensive but impressive.
I your case though, pretty much whatever lead acid battery you can find for a good price. Do not be fooled by brand names, there are only a couple of manufacturers in the whole country that make them all.
