You're right. Though I do have 3 other batteries sitting in storage, so I guess it becomes a function of how vindictive I feel when that time comes and how my wallet is feeling at that time haha. But you're right

Gotcha. I didn't notice the difference. Using your part number "1131PMF" gave me:
Yeah.. that’s a steal, especially with the holiday savings.
Anyone following along, Napa is carrying Stedi lights now, I dont have any yet, but they seem to get good reviews in these parts.
I have been happy with my Stedi's. Running their ARB fogs and 7" driving lights. I had not heard they were at Napa until recently when trying to go to their AUS site and being redirected to the new USA site showing only where you can buy them. The price seems higher than what I had paid before, but nothing is getting cheaper.

DIY Smartphone Scan Gauge - OBD Fusion
Having spent some time messing with an OBD-II smartphone monitor app on several long road trips, I think this topic deserves its own thread. Specifically using OBD Fusion to monitor the plethora of info available on the OBD-II data port of the vehicle. I can't take credit for this, but would...

I use dish soap for most things because it’s spineless and won’t hurt just about anything lol
Uhh... many of us have our trucks sprayed underneath with oil every winter. Think of it as rustproofing.
But if you really have to get it off, I usually use something like Super Clean, then lots of water rinse.
Multimeter?
Well, more of an alarm or something. Something that will notify me that my battery is too low while using accessories.
Ahh. There are lots of ways, depends on how serious you are about it. There are low voltage cutoffs you can put in front of the accessory circuit. Or I suspect you could just use a Bluetooth voltage monitor directly tied to the battery, or any always on source..
Put a load across the battery and THEN measure the voltage. With no load, the battery voltage rises to an unrealistic level.
of you want to do it with the entire car off. put a 120 ohm 1 watt resistor across the two terminals, or clip on some other load, like a spot light, etc
You want one of these:

I have a dual model, installed right by my driver's seat, I see it every time I open the door, and I can glance at it while driving. It has alarms that can be disabled.

I see Tundras all over the place emblazoned with "iForce 5.7L V8." Is it really any different from the plain Jane 5.7 in my LX or is it just marketing hype?
same engine. iforce is a marketing term invented to keep up with other cool-sounding motor names prevalent in the truck world.
Kinda reminds me of my friend's scratch-built racecar, which he named iBAM (short for "I bang Andy's mom"

I've never noticed that in my adventures through the parts lookup system.
