    07 Chevy 2500HD ~300k opinions

    Shockingly the majority were clean. The clapped ones were clapped but a ton of clean examples. We actually just sold the 03 escalade... can't keep them all sadly.

    Project Farm tests Walmart and O'Reilly batteries

    In a world filled with, run, and managed mostly by truly horrendous human beings, I thank you.

    Clean title Tundra- excellent example why Carfax is a great resource but not an absolute authority

    Mom's tahoe was totaled for a sheet of ice sliding off a roof and blowing out the back window. It was a lot of cosmetic damage but the shop found no structural damage. Because it was less than 8 years old it either needed to be totaled, covered by insurance and repaired, or repaired out of...

    Project Farm tests Walmart and O'Reilly batteries

    When I'm told to go do this and ask if it's fine to also do that while I'm already there it isn't an ethical problem. Anything I do on the clock, I ask for permission from a superior first. I'll be judged at the end, and if a core charge mistake on a battery allowing me to profit marginally...

    Still ended up at a recycling center but I got an extra 18$ in my pocket and I got to go on company time. I didn't realize it at the time as I had bought the battery with intent to swap it out a few days later when it was warmer... these things always happen during an arctic blast it seems. It's...

    Coincidentally Costco was the same price at the time of procurement for my H8 so it made it a no brainer. Some sizes seem to vary more than others. I'll also add they messed up my core charge at Sam's (didn't charge me for one) so I was able to take it for scrap and make some 18$. If Costco was...

    Fair enough. I've yet a modern vehicle have a battery out last the warranty. 3 years if I'm lucky and periodically top off on a good charger. So warranty replacement is more of a concern. And price. And I don't feel like driving through lakewood to get to Costco. :LOL:

    Same battery with a worse warranty?

    I don't particularly care either. Case alone there is enough difference to see which is which at a glance anyway. I seem to get better luck from east penn but I'm sure someone else would say exactly the opposite lol.

    My local Walmart has nothing but clarios and I'm on the east coast. Maybe regional for the most part or maybe because I have a sams club near by that only carries east penn in the duracell variant? I've actually never seen an east penn everstart on the shelf, they've all been JCI or now clarios.

    Faking status for military discounts

    No sir, not LEO. HAZMAT. We do work in tandem with the county prosecutors office and local PD for going through all the bad actors though. We'll be sent in to clear meth labs, puppy mills, drug dens, search warrants in what would be considered hazardous conditions etc. And entirely volunteer. I...

    Faking status for military discounts

    I don't even feel comfortable when the convenience store offers me a a free drink after a call... I volunteer my time and know what I'm getting into. If I die, I die. At least I can opt out at any point if I wanted to. My Grandfather served and I have nothing but respect for you all.

    How cold are your dash vents blowing and at what ambient temp.

    About 33 at the vent on a 98F day. R1234 yf on the colorado. On even the hottest of days I sometimes need to run the defrosters for a moment because the cab gets too cold and the glass all dews up on the outside. I suppose that's a better problem to have vs the other way around.
