Battery
 

My battery is dead, is it worth it to buy a fancy light weight one online or should I just head to nappa and trade the old one in?

Depends on what you want really. Do you want a fancy light weight one? You'd have to weigh the merits of each, there's positives and negatives. Is the pricing of the lightweights shocking compared to the regulars? You don't want to be too light on the finances with heavy debt for a battery, ohm sure you'll figure out watt you want, look at the current models, see what kind of resistance you'll get from the wife, and then charge forward.

Get a PowerMaxx from Ford Parts. Comes with a 36 month replacement warranty.

Wire you talking so fancy?

I have never bought anything other than Motorcraft. They have a good warranty and are reasonably priced. I don't really see any benefit to a "fancy" battery.

I like to electrify the conversation by alternating how I talk and its good be direct, sorry, sometimes I get amped up about things and turn over cranky.

Haha, I see what you did there!

I'll probably just get the napa one. But will wait till the friggen snow finally is gone.

classic:lol

When my battery went dead. I went to my local Ford Dealer and bought a new OEM Ford battery. Just for the looks when I lift the hood.

I guess it gives the post a boost, but sometimes you need to die down a little. We don't want this to start boiling over. Sorry for jumping to conclusions.

Apologies to def, this thread went on a bit of an arc. We'll try to stay grounded and avoid any acidic comments.

Same here...

I believe I bought mine on your advice. :tup

Talk about an electrically charged post.

I'm still laughing about this post. Shocking!

I apologize as well. I'm removing the cables and cooling down. I don't want this to become terminal.

Every time I think the lights are out in this post, someone comes charging back and jump starts the link. I think I will go and drain before I blow a fuse and the CAA has to take me in tow.

rofl.

My stock battery lasted 10 years, and then I replaced it with another new Ford battery hoping to get another 10 years from it. But of coarse I haven't driven my GT since LOL!

Couple things to consider,

Daily driver? in Alberta thru winter?

Stereo king?

Lots of aftermarket gauges and nitrous systems and other do dads?

If its a stock stang used for 2 months of Alberta's glorious summers...then OEM is the way to go, just put a battery maintainer on it for winter storage.

If you need more duty, Optima red top is what I chose, I also have a 200 amp alternator to back it up.
