Yep looks like it's time to replace the battery. Do it before winter
Are you going to get one from the dealer or just get one from Sears. I had a Sears battery in my car and all my other diesels and I think for being a big box store
they are very good batteries. I had mine in the car for 5 years now, since I first got it. I seldom drive the car in the winter and I never unhook the cables. Also, the car just sits outside covered in snow...hibernating

About 30 minutes per side if you do them your self on ramps or tall jack stands, I think about $140-150 if you take it to an independent, if I'm not mistaken.

X pipe.
Immediate difference in performance and great step on it sound. Love the morning start up with recent new battery.
Getting P0170 recently but it goes on and off. MAF? O2?

La Pulga aka fleebay.
$30 shipped and it was the closest to Magnaflows tru x pipe. I wanted a path for the exhaust to follow because some x pipes looked like they gathered in the middle. Want the link?
Its here.

Took the car in for Transmission and Differential service. Also had a little rattling underneath and some clinking when shifting gears. Turns out the shifter bushings were toast. Change those out and the cars shifts into and out so smooth! And no more rattle!

Last night I switched over to the winter wheels/tires, sad day. On the plus side, with no snow on the ground yet, you can really feel the lighter weight boots, car feels like it picked up 30hp!

I stop using the oem floor mats and try to preserve them. Maybe one day they might fetch a nice chunk of money

I still haven't used mine since I bought them.
I have both the US and Eüro version mats.
Both sets are still sealed.
Maybe they will fetch a good chunk of monie in the future?

The new star had 3 prongs on the back so I drilled holes in the cover and glued it on. It is not a perfect fit but you dont notice it unless you look very closely.
