When I retired, said I did not have a need to cut my hair any more, got me a job working 5 weeks a year, & this is my 5 weeks to work & today my only day off but it is the most fun job.
This last week it has been jacket weather & truck was getting hard to start on cold well cool morning. Sorry I did not tell y'all the check engine light had also come on. So wife took it into the local Dodge dealer & she said he adjusted something & tested the batteries said they were good. Said the check engine light was do to low voltage, what ever they did the light is out now & starts fine. They told wife we may want to get new batteries $150 each & $40 to install.
Well the check engine light is out now it is starting great, so I am going to leave the batteries alone. When we get back home Christmas day we will see how it starts if is real cold. Looks like most of you got at least 7 years & a lot got a few more. Thanks a lot.
Oh yes why I said what I did about walmart batteries. I was replacing walmart batteries in my bike every year. Three years ago replaced with a battery that cost a little more, but three years & still going strong. Also been on the road 10 years but back when had a stick house. Used walmart best battery with 3 year warranty. If I remember right they would only last 3 years + or - about 60 days. That said Walmart is a very good friend to RV'er I even got water when it was 10 below out of water & was turned off. Just have not had good luck with there batteries.
