Yes You know how it is since you live over in Michigan. When you get -15F and colder it become imperative to have as many CCA's as possible. Yesterday morning thermometer said -28F and it fired right up.

Also replaced my front shocks.

Yup. That's why when it comes to battery replacement time, I get the biggest, meanest battery that will physically fit.

Replaced a radiator on a friend's 2012 Journey. Wow, what a job. I'd rather do my clutch again. Stupid little cars. . .

Option 3 is use as a lawn piece. The hydraulics would need to be removed (slave cylinder, lines, and reservoir) and a older ram clutch system put in 86 and back. 87 and newer is when they started hydraulics.

Got a link? According to rockauto, hydros were used already in 85 and they list nothing before that. Even then, the 85 and up master cylinder is a completely different design. Unless you've done this and can recommend parts, I'll keep looking.

Re-spooled the winch with a synthetic rope, found out the PO had duct taped the cable back on after breaking the mount bolt in the drum
