Well Wife was at Boy Scout CPR Training thing, over the weekend. Her garage Queen caravan sat out side and acted sluggish on start up.
Ran out and picked her up a new battery. then got to thinking, that truck is a 2014, Minus 5 degrees coming through next week, yeah time to get my Ram a new battery too.

Researched the crap out of them. Made the Wife's Interstate only lasted 48 months.
Ended up giving East Penn Batteries a try.
Made in the USA decided it, for me.

Just cleaned mine today, but Friday it took me to me office where I turned in the remainder of my issued equipment and got my retired credentials. Yep after 32 yrs I have retired.
Congratulations...you'e gonna enjoy retirement. Threw my papers in after 26 years in 2001. Hope you have a long, happy retirement.

Regards / Mike

I bought this truck because my daughter goes to Emerson in Boston for the next two years. They get a lot of snow, so I figured I always wanted a sc ram and her genny coupe is worthless in the snow. I’m a great dad and found that I could kill two birds with one stone.
I MISS MY TRUCK!!but I have nest cams at her house and can watch it everyday [emoji1]can’t wait till the winter is over so I can detail it and switch back

Mine watched me shovel snow and demanded I clean the snow off of it. Looking so forward to moving to SC at the end of this month.

Come on down. Bring lots of money.. :) We moved from NC to SC almost 2 years ago and haven’t looked back. My Longhorn fits right in in the neighborhood.

I love the SC “pay as you go” system. Low taxes which don’t include a lot of freebies. Don’t want to participate, you don’t have to pay. Want to play, then pay. I like choice. Charlotte was getting a little too much “for the greater good” for my liking.

Bought two tires, too cheap to buy 4 of them at once. Washed it, cleaned the engine.

Walked out to get something out of my truck, and it wouldn't unlock. First thought was my fob battery was dead. But, when I unlocked the door with the key, the truck was dead. No interior lights, locks didn't work, nothing. Even noticed that my gauge needles were freaking out - bouncing at the bottom of the gauges.

So, when I get back from running errands in the Durango, going to pull the battery and have it checked out. Looks like a replacement is on store. Stock battery from 4 yrs ago. Guess I can't complain too much - as long as that is the problem.

Replaced the front stock mats with weathertech liners, I'll replace the rear in the very near future.

Ordered front & rear weathertech mud flaps from americantruck but was sent two front pairs instead so the rears should be here first of next week.

Added the bull bar last week.

All courtesy of the lady who backed into my truck a few weeks ago. [emoji1787]

Yep. It was the battery. Dead cell. $160 later and the truck fired right up!

The horn/alarm scared the **** out of me when I attached the positive cable! Holy crap! [emoji15]

Look like federal couragias?

Correct. A couple of my buddies have them and seem to like them. Figured I would give them a try. Compared to the Nittos and Goodyear’s I’ve run in the past the price was hard to pass up.
