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

At that price you can get a lithium. Want a couple anyway for "camper use," let's call it. They, unlike LA, do not mind a deeper degree of drawdown... nor mind it repetitively...!!! 1-4000 cycles, versus 2-500, and, far deeper.
Do the math, LI can come out farrr ahead. Several formulations, but the industry is responding. Want to toss a solar panel on the topper, for tools, small appliance. A guy's gotta eat. Need my coffee, too. Steak, can be cold. 😉

That's why the $150 AGM went in, Brew.

My Ford EXP only seemed to have ~60 hp even though it was rated 80. My 19.6 quarter mile still beat out a Sunfire by nearly a second.
The AC was off to get that quarter mile time.

Don't blame yuh. I'll do it again though...for a keeper anyway. Dislike the inconvenience of economy batteries that much I guess. It comes too quickly ime. Sounds like you went middle of the road.
I won't go lithium for a vehicle. Definitely not there yet. My Grandson is though, he has lithium's in his remote control.

Just ordered a hot stapler to do some repairs on the bumper cover I got for Frankie. Any of you have experience with a hot stapler? Just looking for some tips and tricks. I can't wait to get going on it!

Man that's some cold front moving in. Was outside and heard a unfamiliar sound getting closer and closer. Sounded like a stamped. It was a wall of hail. Took me by surprise, we don't experience much of that in the north. It was only 1/2" -3/4 but dense.
That's probably nothing compared to what you guys get in the south.

We get hail all the time in CO. A few years back it was bigger than softballs. That's when we learned you should never buy a car with one of those huge glass roofs.
That sounds like killer hail....find cover or die.
