3,199 days later All good things must come to an end...

[CRUZTAKER]

The OEM battery finally took a crap on the Marauder.

3,199 days, or roughly 105 months.

I must say, I have never had a battery last that long.

[sailsmen]

Thought u sold it?

[a_d_a_m]

Mine crapped out a couple months ago.

[Joe Walsh]

WOW Barry!

Almost 9 years on any car battery is awesome!

I just retired the OEM battery from Marianne's Subaru at just shy of 7 years and thought that was amazing!
It was still cranking, just getting pretty s-l-o-w-w-w-w.

Still going strong since Nov'2002. Though realize that it's on borrowed time.

Wow !! I got 92 months out of mine and replaced it last August 2010. I was very happy with the OEM battery and put the same BXT-65-650 Motorcraft back in it. You must be very happy with yours. :up:

I have the original battery from my '98 Grand Marquis in a '88 Turbo coupe that sets out behind the garage, it started without issue a few days ago so I could cut the grass... If someone told me a 13 year old battery could still start a car I'd call them a liar, just unbelievable... The original in my mom's '03 Grand Marquis failed last Sept, I stuck that battery from the '98 in it till I could get her a new one...

[Mflsjhs]

wow you guys are lucky i have an 03 Marauder and it went to the dealer for a new battery in 3.5 yrs replaced the original with a motorcraft battery just a higher CCA rating

[Marauderman]

My OEM crapped out at 36001 miles--Yep!

[Motorhead350]

I think I am on my second, but the first one went like 130,000 miles with winters.

[CRUZTAKER]

Thought u sold it?


I did, I just couldn't disclose it at the time.

The battery dies the night before YaLandy came to pick it up.

[Embassy]

Stick around, Barry. Don't be a stranger.

[FastMerc]

Well I spent about a day rubbing and buffing that MARAUDER out for Barry,and it turned out pretty spiffy for that trip to the south.

[LANDY]

Thank you fast merc. The car Looks awesome.

[Joe Walsh]

Barry,
I should have figured 'something was up' when the picture of the blue WRX started showing up in your signature....

When did you sell your Marauder?
Just got tired of it and needed something new to mod?

[FastMerc]
