exide batteries?
i just traded my dad my delco for an exide orbital. i dont know anything about the battery besides it is impossible to leak and one website described it as "better than optima." they even welded on the battery and said it held strong! its made just like the optima but they say they took it a step farther. i never found whats better about it though. it has a 6 or 7 year warranty if i remember right. anyone know about it?

just learned that its the only battery allowed to be sent by plane because its impossible to leak or vent.

i read somewhere else that you can use the battery under water. you can do that with an optima right?

heres an indipendant review i found.

the truck rebuild is just about done. the shop did great body work and paint. im driving the truck but im not guna post any pics until its complete. parts of the front clip arent mine. they are my friends who is in boot camp so i stole the grille and valance off of his 00 v6 worktruck
. on the list for the next few weeks is to get my paint matched z71 tahoe valance from foglemotorsports, a grille from 1slow01z71 (if he ever gets his truck running right 
). hopefully ill be able to make a trade with that grille+all of my billet stuff for a tahoe grille shell. then ill fill up the tahoe shell with all of the same stuff i used to have.
theres still a few lil things that i need to do to make me happy. overspray i EVERYWHERE, the hood needs to be pulled forward a lil and the front bumper needs to be leaned just a lil more forward to make the body meet up to the bumper pad perfectly. also still need to take it back to the paint shop to get them to wetsand and polish/wax the fenders, hood and roof. it will be better than before when im done
what sucks is now i have a sir mikes rollpan leaned up in the corner that i wont be able to afford to put on until summer 
whoa, just read through that....pretty long winded.
