Battery battered
Took The Surprise cross-country and every day the van started up like a champ. Took it into Ford for an oil change and look-see and the next day it wouldn't turn over. The tech didn't tighten the clamp at the battery post, and somehow it must have discharged the main van battery.
When I took it back in, they said the battery was toast. OK. Forget the obvious idiocy inherent in the above. Here's the issue.
I had to replace the battery. But my diesel has two van batteries, the second of which Ford swore was in tiptop shape.
Did I err in not replacing both?
