It also comes with zip ties, grommets, and six screws, and wire is crimed with rings.

Alright! So The battery works. Everything is mounted and attached. I'm not cranking the car until Friday since it's in a storage unit 1 hour away and I'm going back to finish installing brake pads and SS lines that I am working on as well. I'll let you guys know if it cranks on Friday!

He died the same way he lived... a quarter mile at a time.

josemartinrea · 02-16-2017, 08:36 PM

Btw I forgot to mention. You can Get through to the wire boot thing on the passenger side without removing the ac blower which is a huge pia to put back. Also, didn't know this was a feature.

Trunk release.

i guess da question is why. why u screwing with the corner weights of da car..

josemartinrea · 08-03-2017, 09:35 PM

So it's been about five months since I put this battery in. I've let the car sit for four days at a time since I have a work vehicle hat I use daily. Cranks just fine every time. Encountered a water leak when I removed the boot because I broke the tabs that hold the boot in place. I used windshield urethane (I work in the autoglass industry) to stop the leak.

Sorry to revive this old monster however I'm interested in knowing what did all of you do with the battery current sensor?

THE BULL · 07-28-2021, 10:11 AM

It looks like the Battery Current Sensor just monitors discharge for smart charging purposes and Battery temp.
