Welp, very glad I went for the battery and installed it when I did. Woke up to 8+ inches of snow this morning, and was happy to be able to take the truck.

good chance knowing from personal experience, the package is probably lost

Missing for a month.
You have more patience that I.
Get RA on it by requesting a refund on their website.
It is a pain to find on their site but one can get e refund for stuff that is lost. I got one and then many weeks later I had spares as FX finally delivered it.

Oh I know they're are out there. Researched and priced them before settling on the Odyssey. That was over a decade ago. Johnson controls had pretty much cornered the market at the time. Quality, longevity seemed to dwindle with their product.

At the time there was a large cost difference between a quality AGM and Lithium. That is what I meant by 'not there yet'.....not paying that difference.

EnerSys had their own place in market, think they still do in quality and cost. One that's attractive to some who plan on keeping their vehicles long term.

Just cleaned the TB on the ranger. Holy crap. No wonder the pedal was sticking on initial application

If you were to look at the car crash videos on YouTube, you will find many FedEX trucks involved in accidents. They crash on a regular basis. One video there were 11 of their trucks involved throughout the video. I don't think they can drive, thus the slow or no delivery. Unbelievable amount of accidents with this company.

Good luck with FedEx and UPS thus far (knock on wood). USPS - not so much.
