Killing batteries does seem to harm them. Does your battery charger has a meter on it? If you plug in the charger and the needle reads high and drops to low in a short time, like five minutes, the battery is probity toast unless you have one of those fancy restorers (Oscar will know) I'm guessing.

Rereading my post, I understand why you asked, fixed. The cleaning was just to get the old stuff off and didn't change the looks of it. The Cerakote is what made it look better. Pro tip, don't open the pack and smell it! Reminded me of smelling salts.

171,498 miles!!! Cool! Have you checked the valve lash?

So, has it kept the cockroaches and rats out? 😃

On your advise I got some to try on my running boards. They have light spots on them and nothing I have tried have worked. So I followed the instructions and scrubbed them with blue Dawn soap, let them dry until the next day, then applied the Cerakote and they look a lot better. Before: After:

They had a cheaper one but I get their Legend model, this particular one had 850 CCA.

$153 with 20% off sale, tax and core.

The NAPA battery in the Explorer died yesterday. It would have been 6 years old in September so I guess it isn't too bad for a standard wet cell battery. The timing was good as NAPA is running a 20% off for mothers day if ordered online, $34 off. I'm glad Honda over builds their stuff as the Wing's top box says a max of 20 lbs. and the battery is 46 lbs.

Well today for the first time in a week I didn't have to re-log in. LOL. Thanks for looking.

Not really a big deal but for about a week now, I have to sign in every time I open .org. Still using same computer and browser and yes, the box is checked to remain logged in. Not having this issue on any other forums. Just wondered if it was on my end or here.

My son just painted his red truck himself and I think he said that he had $2K in paint and the stuff needed with it. It's just crazy in that department anymore.

Couldn't you just had someone push it and pop the clutch out in 2nd gear? 😀 Many many years ago there was a guy that had an old GTO with a bad starter. We would push start the thing after work until payday so he could get a new starter.

I had one years ago that was great in my old seldom driven car but researching them a few years ago, their ratings went into the crapper after their move from the U.S. Optima Batteries moved its manufacturing from the United States to Mexico in 2008. This shift was part of a broader trend of companies relocating production to lower-cost facilities.

I believe my NAPA batteries were also a East Penn product from my research.

I don't have nor know many with battery leaking issues. It may be your roads banging them up but if you are having that many problems with Costco batteries, you might want to try other brands. I've been running NAPA ones in my 4 and 2 wheels vehicles for some years now.

Looking at photos of you through the years, I always thought you were one of those natural skinny people.

I don't think I have ever saw or heard of a cam wear all the lobes equally to that extent so I wouldn't think they are junk. If possible, I would try to talk to the guy you bought it from to get all the details on the engine. That would save you from guessing.

I saw this the other day. Though I wouldn't want it, thought it was cool on a different kind of level.

Has she been having any symptoms related to blood sugar?

For your own interest, you should listen to the source itself instead of thinking you understand the full scope of what RFK's intent is concerning health from MSM. One thing he is trying to do is make ALL health information available to the public. You can't disagree that? He also isn't trying to block any care someone wants, just to make sure once again that people have all the info. Give him some time to see what happens.

All I'm going to say is that you picked the worse source to quote and the OP wasn't based on MSM, I watched a news conference RFK jr. had the other day.

If autism is increasing at an appreciable amount, something must be causing it. Whether it's chemicals in our food or diet itself, something in the water, drugs, etc., there seems to be a push now to find out why. The promise of massive transparency in the health would be amazing, I hope it happens. Money controls so much stuff, research or lack of research, etc., truth isn't always easy to come by.

I don't understand this, either they will pay for it or not. Maybe try to elevate up the food chain to push for an answer?

Motorcycle? Do you have a really fat neighbor?

So in your opinion from what you have read, has autism increased, decreased or remained the same in the last 25 years?
