What did you do to your truck today?

[OldCracker29]

Just replaced the battery, starts like a new one now.......

What did you get?

Well, since I plan on getting rid of the truck within a year and I'm on a budget, I just went to Wallyworld and got their cheapest, which was 1/2 the price of AutoZones cheapest Duralast. As long as it gets me thru the winter , I'm happy.

How many cca?

600cca should be good. I've always gone with 800cca. I understand you not wanting to put money into the truck if you're planning on getting rid of it.

It will spin it with no problem. It's just a 305 over 200000 miles, so I imagine the compression is also lower than stock.

Just took it to Sams club and bought lots of food in very large quantities. Freezer was almost empty, so it was time to refill it.

I just bought plugs and wires for it on line from Advance Auto parts. They are running a promo today. I think I got 20% off of both items. I have to go pick the plugs up. The Delphi wires should arrive here in 3-5 days. I have to pick the plugs up at the store within the hour.

That's what I did when I bought mine.
But the cashier had it all in a bag waiting for me, so I didn't realize until I got home that they only gave me 6 plugs instead of 8 They knew the deal, because when I called the store they didn't even try to deny it. But they did say they didn't have any more in stock. I had to drive across town to another store and pick up the other 2 plugs.

I may have to replace the battery, it cranked kinda slow this morning. I think it's time ,
I have had the truck for 8 or 9 years and it's the battery that was in it when I bought it.

Since most batteries only last 5 years or so....I think it is time to change it.
You're running on borrowed time...

My '85 S10 that I had for 9 months before I got the Blazer had the factory battery

I got the Blazer in Jan '07...
