Went to the track to try to bust into the 10’s and couldn’t get any closer…
Not bad for a full weight eaton car.

My original 2002 battery finally died...


but I popped the caps and found it low on water and two cells showing the top dry..


So, I added distilled water and put on the trickle charger


After a week still no green light, yellow indicating charging and the volts were good. All but one cell bubbling on 50A charge.. problem in one cell.

Another week goes by and bingo, fully charged green light good to go... desulfation must have taken a full two weeks.

Original battery 19 years and still going strong....... what's the record?
Same with my battery, added some electrolyte solution, re charged and good to go. But took it out and picked up a new Motorcraft. Didn't need to take a chance on the original. My Original battery was taken out last year.

Sorry Bob, the way I’m holding the slip is a bit misleading. I went 11.00, cool 60 degree day.
Ah, you were in the other lane. I was too focused on where your thumb was. And, you did say you were wanting to busting into the 10s. So I should have caught that. LOL. Hell, [email protected] is great, and a nick away from 10s!

Noticed I had a small oil leak. Traced it to the dipstick. The rubber o ring was dried up and broke part. Since the tube was a bit mangled from my long tube install I bought a Lokar unit. Fits amd works perfect.

And here I was worried about my 2012 battery lol! My Terminator has had two batteries. The original was replaced in 2012. The replacement has been on a trickle charger mostly. However I did run a 10A charge through it for a few hours this weekend. Now it's back on the trickle charger. I am going to disconnect it and wait a few days and then check the voltage to see if it has any issues.

Is the Max/Min still in the correct location on the stick?

Top 40 at the Roto-Rooter Indoor Car Show yesterday.

You're going to need to build a room JUST to store all of those trophies you've won. Congratulations on your most recent one!

Do you have another photo showing more of that Dodge R/T on the left?
