You did good. My original battery died right at the end of warranty. The warranty replacement died last summer. Gerry

Since your battery is five years old, it’s likely you will be replacing it sooner than later anyway, so you might as well do it now. Wal-mart has a group H8 battery with a four year warranty. It’s bigger than the battery that came in your truck. When you take your old battery out, there is a...

With your track record, you will probably getting a new one in a few weeks anyway...:). Seriously though, hope they can fix it.. Gerry

I just finished that job on my truck today. Used the same kit. Gerry

I think it's there to complete the electrical circuit for the muffler bearings. Gerry

In my opinion, you are wasting your money. I had a 2004 GMC with over 100K miles that had a head crack. It was a casting problem. When I replaced the heads, the inside of the engine looked brand new. There was no ring ridge at the top of the cylinders. The crosshatch on the cylinders looked...

How would it not be a warranty issue? Gerry

Yup Gerry

I doubt that idling for a couple of hours would be a problem. I think the best thing you can do to help the longevity of an engine is to do the first oil and filter change early. Gerry
