Haven't started my Jeep since last Thursday and after reading about Justin's battery decided to start it up when I got home. Remote start worked like a champ and it fired right up. 5 year old Red Top Optima is still working! I was sure the cold was going to kill it. Just in case I hooked up my battery tender to top it off.
wtf
Also i got a new battery for free thanks to the warranty. Something must have come loose inside of it. Back up and running perfect - started right up this morning
Anyone going to Rausch in February. I'm going to custom creepers event on the 7-9 there. Didn't know if anyone else was going. Don't want to get a hotel room by myself since the gf isn't going. Adults only too guys

I dropped the transmission 2 weeks ago and swapped The bellhousing with one I bought from CPO. Replaced the CPS and was still having intermittent problems. Turned out the CPS which I bought from the dealership was bad.
So now that its running again I can get back to maintenance items. Need to head to Meade to swap rear diff shims and replace valve cover gasket this weekend.
Next up is axle side control arm bushings and drag link.

IIRC Everstart, Duralast, and Diehard are all JCI batteries so they should be essentially the same.
No matter the brand good rule is to not go for the cheapest/bottom of the barrel variant - so the MAXX, Gold, Platinum etc etc are probably good choices
