    Paccar dealers usually have batteries on sale at $99.00 each.

    $110 last September. X3.
    $35 core per battery.

    Installed them myself. And took the cores back.

    Couple months back they were $85 but couldn't say they were matching brands. It was 2 different dealers.

    About 10 years ago roadcall replaced 4 for $700. $100 per battery. So that was $300 service call.

    That's not bad at all. Last battery I bought was for my pickup 2 years ago and it was $250 for a regular lead acid group 94. Probably would have been $400 from the dealer.

    I’m guessing it’s those new vista clear view bathroom doors and shower curtains.

    Yes. You nailed it 100%.
    I was just saying some poeple, the more religious kind, feel shame not being able to repay debt.
