Battery life: Is this a record?
I picked up my brand new '97 F150 in April of 1996. I've replaced brake rotors twice, had the dash ripped out to change the heater core, etc etc.
However, my ORIGINAL Motorcraft battery is still hanging in there, nearly 14 years later.
Anybody beat that?

I'd say that you have a battery that was made in Heaven...count your blessings.

That's funny because my 97 f150 that recently this summer got a rebuild dropped into it also has the original battery from when it was purchased back in 97. Battery is still running strong!
