What have you done to your ride lately?

Driver side axle seal is leaking fluid. Dont know why I didnt think to change them while it was apart. Going to go pick up two seals and replace the driver side. I'll keep an eye on the passenger and replace it if it starts leaking.

It did not leave the Laundry Fairy stranded, because it never left the garage this morning.
I’m not paying $300 Lexus battery either!

That new battery is prob better quality anyway.

Pretty crappy you don't even get 5 years out of one of them fancy Lexus batteries. Heck, not even 4 years....unless that's a death date not a mfg date & in that case it lasted a heck of a long time?

I think Rich is the only guy I know to take a Tacoma battery past 5 years that I know of but I could be remembering that wrong. I know mine didn't last that long. Think mine was shot after 3 years.

After charginmg up my Subaru battery it's still alive and kicking after that one weird instance a few weeks ago. Think it's going on year six now. Gotta find out who mfg's that one for sure.

Actually that Lexus battery is a 84month battery.

WTF - thats horrible. Looks like they owe you about $150 (pro rated) if it was made in 2016 and only lasted 45 months

No warranty on it to bring the cost of the new one down?

Edit: you responded at the same time I did. so nevermind...

If it barely made half it’s life, why would I get another one? and it is still more expensive than what I got, plus my opportunity cost.... my time dealing with the dealer, jump start it, and hope you make it there? No thanks.

Do the lexi batteries need to be 'registered' like my Bimmer ones?

I have noticed some battery manufacturers are starting to put serial numbers on batteries.

Supposed to be 64 degrees on Saturday... of course the car wash will have a line 20 cars deep.
