Truck just sitting?

Probably helps a lot that where we live in West Michigan on the lakeshore we don't get below zero F at night or over 90F max as that can really hurt battery life etc.

Hi Travelnutz!

Its hard to believe how long these batteries go. I'll probably replace the other in 2017.

Our truck was only stored outside for 1 winter since new. Other than that, its only seen heated storage, and the occasional coolish spring or fall. It had seen 2 expeditions to the Southwest for 4 weeks each. But even those excursions were during spring; so no exceptionally hot prolonged life in the baking heat.

We do indeed have the same trucks (down to the color LOL!), albeit, yours is diesel. We have ~67k kilometers so far hah hah! I've seen these trucks go to 400k miles(!) quite often. Our undercarriage looks like showroom (I coat it every year myself since new). We expect it to go perhaps 15 to 20 more years, it will then be insured as vintage collectable (I hope gasoline will still be available then hah hah).

Cheers,
S-
