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.

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.

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.
