What Did You Do With Your Tbird Today?

^^^ Thanks , I was not a fan of the sand steering wheel / shift knob , plus the metal like dash appliques had dings and the grey on the center pod look tired , so the mod had to be done :)

Nicely done, Lee. I installed the wiring harness to be able to pull a small utility trailer. This will allow my wife to bring her power chair when we go places in the car. Heading to the beach for a few days next week.

Took Roxy to Jones Ford today for an Oil change and Filter, 4,000 miles took 18 months. But she looked so good with the top down their Social media guy took her picture with Jones Ford in the background. Roxy loved all the attention. Especially her picture on Jones Ford of Charleston's Facebook page.

Must have been a little too long and deep.

He said that it was too close to the place that makes the angle about 1/3 up the door.

The paintless guy said it couldn’t be done so it goes in next week for an old fashioned repair.

Talked with my body guy today. He has a good paintless dent man coming to the shop on Wednesday. He will look at the crease in my door and see whether he can take it out. We will see.

Forgot to mention the one positive of my recent battery replacement - It forced a reunion with my Thunderbird Trunk Mat which is as good as new.. Wish I could say the same about me.

Sears still exists?

Some stores are still open. You can check your area by using their store locator.

I agree with Paul, Motorcraft batteries are the best.

Ford is like Sears. They don't make anything, just purchase from a supplier and stamp their name on it. I asked a Ford parts guy who makes Ford branded oil. He said that it depended on who got the last lowest bid.
Last year, Johnson Controls sold to a new company, Clarios. From what I can tell, they made batteries for many major brands and
Clarios will continue the tradition.

Likewise. They’ve given me my money’s worth for sure.

Replaced the Motorcraft battery I installed in April 2019. Absolutely dead. Car would not even jump start. No charge for the replacement battery, but not
one of the activities I had planned for yesterday.

Wonder what percentage of batteries of all brands actually outlive the warranty or even come close.

I've replaced two Motorcraft batteries after 6 to 8 years when neither were causing problems just because I didn't want to take them on a long roadtrip and have them give up the ghost in the middle of nowhere. The 3rd one went into service in 2016 so it should be good for a few more years.

In general I think most folks have gotten exceptional service from Motorcraft batteries, with some lasting a dozen years or more. I have no problem recommending them to anyone that asks about a replacement. That said, there are always exceptions to the norm - sounds like you had one.
