New battery!
Well I finally replaced the OE battery in my 02 X. went dead back in Oct. while camping (wamest it was, was 30deg.) but I wrote that off as being in and out of the X several times without running the truck. then it went dead again in Jan. while loading up for a boyscout camping trip. again it was single digits. I bought a new Die Hard AGM battery 930 CCA $190 came with a 4yr free replacement warranty and after that it is pro rated for 60 mos.? can`t remember now. the X has never turned over this fast since I`ve owned it (bought it with 17k) in single digit weather it starts as if it were in the 80`s. I was going to go with an Optima, but I`ve read that the new ones aren`t as good as the old ones. I had an Optima in my Mustang 10 years ago and it was great. Always owned Die Hards and have had excellent luck.
Sorry, just had to share.
The TT needs a new battery this year. I may go with the same battery in the deep cycle version.
