plus the fact that oreilly told me it was a good battery.

PS Thanks for the advice Eckert... Took my old ****ty battery back to vatozone and got a free one. I guess there is some jew in me after all. I just made up a story about how I was passing through Waco about a year ago and picked up this battery but forgot the receipt. It worked.. got a replacement fo FREE!

Today I had a nice little 2 hour cruise around town. She backfires when shifting gears sometimes, going to get new spark plugs & wires tomorrow. The tranny needs a rebuild since it slips out of 4th, and it sounds like the motor could use a tune-up.

The good news-
This truck is all stock. All my gauges and lights work. Only thing is when the blinkers get turned on, it flashes both lights... I think I'll check that out tomorrow. Now that she's running I'd like to get her registered.
