    I don't think so, but thanks. I'm not a big follower of college hoops or hoops at all. Hope Duke wins & 'nova takes it in the ### though.

    I, Dave_in_AZ, having survived an 8 day incursion into the frozen tundra, a F'd up receiver, a F'd up shipper, a WTF'd up receiver, and a WTF punk made B agent, having been without to go box the whole time, am now at the Petro in SoCal, and shall proceed to eat an amount of bacon, potatoes, and salsa that could possibly be life threatening.

    I just dumped a load of money on new batteries. I got tired of batteries lasting a year or two. So, I bought 4 Odyssey's. Curious to see how they do.

    According to the guy at the battery plant that I talked to they aren't any better.

    Two years is good. We're those expensive?

    Yeah they were expensive, but they should last. A 4 year replacement guarantee. I noticed already that my apu doesn't run hardly at all and I just put them in today so they weren't fully charged till the apu ran. It was running a lot more with all the other ones I've had. I had alliance batteries in it before, and these are noticeably heavier. I watched how they make them on youtube. Seems like they are quality batteries. I'll know more when I get back to work this weekend.

    More weight I wouldn't want. I'm pretty maxed out. I'd have to start cutting down on fueling. As it is now, if I really top off my tanks, I'll go to like 12,040 on my steers.

    I didn't weigh the old ones, these are 70lbs. I don't have a set back axle so weight up front is easy to manage. Is your 5th wheel back over the center of the drives?
