I was beginning to wonder if the Golden Nugget would be ready while Ed could still use it.
I like that color combo.

The same...about Ed.

DieHard- Johnson Controls
Duralast- Johnson Controls
Equalizer - Johnson Controls
EverStart (Wal-Mart) - Exide or Johnson Controls, depending on model
Firestone- Johnson Controls
Interstate- Johnson Controls
Marathon- Exide
Motorcraft- Johnson Controls
NAPA- Exide
Optima - Johnson Controls

But, can we know, if Exide has made batteries, "to spec" for each of these companies???
"Globe" used to make 60% of the US (or world?) batteries in the FLA arena. It almost implies, that they made [most] Interstate batteries.

That ranger absolutely hates the air conditioner. Goes from a gutless wonder to having to push the damn truck

I'm not sure what you're getting at by "But, can we know, if Exide has made batteries, "to spec" for each of these companies???". And yes, Globe became what we know as Johnson Controls now, which does make Interstate Batteries. While I know that list isn't a complete list of brands, 70% of them on there are made by JC.

I'm not sure what they do different, but when the A/C is on in my Toyota, I can't even tell. The idle dips momentarily if it's at idle and the clutch kicks on, but there is zero loss of power.

Does that Ranger have the blue pushbutton on the climate control that allows you to cut off the AC so you can actually accelerate?
Yeah, I had a 4 cyl ranger as a delivery vehicle in a past job. They don't seem to accelerate over 40MPH with the AC on. Had to push the blue button.
I think that one was a ~1982 ish
