Well. I decided on the Sears diehard AGM...paid $170... delivered and I didn't have to turn in the old one as a core charge... I just got it today and haven't installed it yet so I don't know if it will solve the start issue in my original post...thanks for all the input and I will repo

rt back...it has a built in handle strap and for me that's nice...it is much heavier than the old battery tho...

You can recycle the old battery. Something to the tune of 98% of it is recyclable. Go to the right place, they will give you money for it.

Stay out of ohio...... When I lived in Columbus, if three snowflakes fell out of the sky, there was an accident at every intersection.

People here think that AWD or 4WD helps you stop. They expect to be able to go from 65mph to 0mph in 5 feet be able to serve to miss a moose and lose no traction. I even had a younger lady tell me once (she was in her 20s and we just got a big ice storm state was shut down) I'm not worried about the ice I have AWD.

Yeah, we have folks around here like that as well. I just giggle and point when I go past them stuck in the ditch.

I honestly pull over and say, "You stuck?" They reply with "Yes!" I say, "Boy ain't that a b*tch!" And drive off lol
