And having some sort of battery issue. I've noticed slow starts for a while now, finally disconnected my optima yellow top that I added.
Lights on, but didn't start on the champion AGM that I put in 8/25/20 from pepboys...
Need to test the battery, if it's bad I hope the pepboys service centers will trade it out for me(48mo warranty) since they no longer have parts stores.
I'm done with AGM batteries for a while. Nothing but problems with them for me lately. I've now had 3 of 4 fail in the first 18 months on 3 different cars. Each time I had to jump the car to drive it to the parts store, tests fine, and accordingly they wouldn't warranty them so I was out $200+ in each case. Drive it home and let it sit overnight, no start. Replaced with regular flooded batteries, and no more problems.

yep here's one and he was just out for a ski, The body of a skier who vanished in a Lake Tahoe-area ski resort on Christmas was found Saturday, miles away from where authorities and volunteers had been searching for him. Search-and-rescue volunteers discovered the body of Rory Angelotta, 43, near a residential neighborhood and roughly 3 miles from the boundaries of the Northstar Ski Resort, the Placer County Sheriff's Office said in a statement Saturday.
took 3 weeks to find him and that is in a populated area, sounds like he almost made it though....
im glad they were able to find his body. We went through a similar experience about 3 years ago an hour east of Arnold, CA. As someone who works in EMS i have mad respect for all those agencies that work in the wilderness. Working in that snow was no joke.

I’ve got matched pairs of AGMs in both of the twins. The older set is from 2017.

All of ours turned into advanced auto parts
ya we have them as well and napa, o-rielly's (they have a big distribution center here) called ozark, once you figure out all the logistics of the auto parts places in a area it's easy to get just about anything the same day or next day, stuff around here is in town or is in Manteca or last resort Vegas. All the shops and stores like to keep it a dirty little secret because that is how they get there discounts and then bump the price up to retail, even rock auto is only about an hour from here so If I order from there shipping is usually dirt cheap. a little secret to saving on stuff is having a business license, a business license here is $74 a year I take advantage of that all the time, lots of places will discount business to business sales, the resale license from the state is a one time cost I think I paid $14 for it like 22 years ago. once you have those you can open accounts with just about any other business and get better deals.

Painted the spare battery tray. Installing it once I can feel my hands again.

I never had this truck aligned so i don't know if that's a common problem. Thinking of dropping the front 1 inch and Leveling the rear in the future. I'm assuming that's when I'll want these control arms

Not common at all. I've lifted mine 2" and it's currently lowered 3"+. Stock arms and plenty of adjustment left. Many have gone higher or lower with stock arms and they still align.

Those arms are to give extra adjustment for special situations such as excessive lift or drop, especially without spindles, and/or for a tweaked frame such as from a wreck.

how old are tpms sensors? this can happen when the battery gets low, they either do not register or will register with a weird reading
They came out of a brand new 2016 fleet vehicle. So I use January 1st to date them, that would make them 6 years old. No codes, no errors.

Maybe I was just being impatient. I've had them take 5 minutes to update before. Also, the temperature was going up along with humidity before sun was even up. I try to set them at an ambient temp of 75-80 degrees, yesterday was 70. Had a family emergency yesterday and the pressures were the same as I left it in the morning.
