[QUOTE="littleredstroker, post: 1371843, member: 1403"] Basically, I am tired of buying batteries.. Even buying cheap walmart ones and using their warranty to swap out every 2 years or so, you are still chancing getting stranded somewhere. Where i live its not uncommon to have -40 to -50 degree weather, which means ice fishing:thumbup: and snowmobiling where often I am miles from ANYwhere with nobody in sight. Ive found my 7.3 starts the best when the glow plugs are on for 3 minutes or so, (when its that cold) which with regular batteries it doesnt give you alot of time cranking. The 2 year old dekas (sp?) after having 2-3 minutes with glow plugs on , leaves about 20-30 seconds of cranking. (which is often enough) before the cranking starts to slow. We all know that these truck need fast cranking over a period of time to start. So if I am due for new batteries, its always incredibly frustrating to find out at that time.. Another thing, if you have a battery and are draining it to say 50% over and over and over , its going to shorten the life of the battery compared to if you drained it say 15% is it not? When you look at the price of 1-4D being roughly the same price as a regular damn 12v for our trucks... even if I have to replace them half as often I will still be money ahead, not to mention KNOWING when I go to make the engine start after a long day on the ice that I wont have issues. I know its overkill, but nothing succeeds like it. [/QUOTE]
