yea yea yea, you are right I guess what is weird about this is I bought a die hard for my ranger and an autocrap battery for the gt.

Re: battery

Joe, when you do eventually buy a new battery... go ahead and get an Optima!

Re: battery

do you have a car alarm? I know you said that you didn't have an aftermarket radio.

Our 01 does that when it sits for 2 weeks or so without being cranked. How long did you go without cranking before you discovered it was dead?
