Drove her a lot over the last 3 days. Last minute work stuff required me to drive 2150 miles (32 hours) 3 days later from home NW FL to Montana.. detoured and checked off a bucket list item since I was pretty close already and probably won’t be out this way again. Overdo for an oil change ill do here when I get a chance. Stopped at Harbor Freight and grabbed a clamp to do a temporary ac hack without checking the temp seemed to do its job just fine on the trip.

im considering doing that as a preventative thing...
or keep an AGM in the truck in case something happens in the next 2 months while im in the middle of nowhere lol
thats not a bad idea. it sort of seems from what I have seen in this forum that if your battery goes pass the 2 years mark you got a good one and will go a long way but you are getting in the dangerous zone from my experience and the 2 times that mine went out there was zero warning. Just woke up to a dead battery

yeah even though i carry a jumpstarter with me in the truck i think having a backup would be ideal especially on The Dalton or Dempster.

Gave it something to park next to. 2023 E450 4Matic Coupe. Wanted a 2024 but 2023 was the last year for the two door E class hardtop. Not the manliest color combo, with a borderline purple exterior and white interior, but it's my wife's car.... at least that's what I tell people.

To tip the scale it has a 3.0L I6 turbo with 362 hp and makes a great sound. What it doesn't have is a B pillar, which pretty much sealed the deal

On my bucket list too. Not much room between Roosevelt and Lincoln, looks like Trump will need to go on one of the sides.
