Starting batts 6.0L Diesel
Looks like time is up for my starting batteries on 2009 6L diesel van. Getting a bit challenging in the mornings now. Got the gauges up and running before start the other morning when it was 5 degrees and engine heater connected and they showed the battery level at 11.8v and once I hit the starter, they hit down to 8.2v. That ain't gonna last much longer.
Priced some Ford dealer 850cca batteries at $140 each which seems like a really good deal to me. Local shop I use for engine stuff quoted me some Interstates at 750cca for $160 each. Ford batteries OK? Any horror stories on them?
Looking under the van and knowing how my arthritis in my left hand is hurting, I'll pay the shops to do the install.
