Well ended up with an interstate. Couldn't beat the specs and warranty.
I was going to put a motorcraft in but the dealership I stopped in at was out of the 650's. So the parts guy offered me the interstate for the same price.
The battery has 850cca and 1000ca. Not to bad for $90. Saved $10 overall.
Got home and did the install in about 20mintes. Made sure everything was nice and clean. As for the old one, I charged it up and did a load test and it didn't pass. Repaired the battery tender cord still going to give it another shot.
Anything learned here?
Yes, a battery that is 4 years or older your living on borrowed time.
btw Found some more stuff the cat chewed on. He's banned now from the garage.
