Last one to post in this thread wins!

well, it finally happened, the battery in the wifes winterbeater died
not too surprising, seeing how she pretty goes back and forth to work, about a 4 mile round trip

i picked one up for her, and putting it in tomorrow

cant believe the stocker only lasted 13 years
Nothing lasts forever DIY LOL. I had an 87 Cutless Sierra many years ago. The GM battery in that one lasted 13 years as well. Father-in-Law bought the car new and I bought it off him. 2.5 and had piston slap after GM rebuilt it under warranty. Two wrist pins seized up while under warranty. Common from what I hear.
