That is still a lot of batteries having to get recycled. Just awesome for the environment. We have to pick our poison. This type of equipment is causing the cost of vehicles to skyrocket. Not just the initial purchase but the maintenance side as well. Some people can barely afford a used car...

It's the price you have to pay to save the environment. Without ESS, you could have eliminated the Aux battery, rivots and the majority of the labor. Yeah those prices are high but typicle for a dealer. You are lucky they didn’t toss on a $250 diagnostic fee.

Your ECU will determine the output voltage from the alternator. It uses the IBS that is connected to the negative post of the main battery. You may have to wait a few start cycles to see things start working. Have you noticed that a few of your icons are missing from your display. You need a...

Now there are some fails there to. Which makes me believe issues that come up are user/installer driven and not the design.

Forums are just a magnet for problems. I have a few friends with Gladiators and they have no interest in the Gladiator forum because they have not had any issues and they have no interest in any modifications.

Don't we wish! Unfortunately, it means, " sum ting wong".

Letting kids at pepboys replace your battery is not what I would call an ideal situation. I hope it works out.

When you get home, do what I said above. Do not pass go, do not collect $200. Your "NEW" pep boys battery is not fully charged, your Aux is most likely severely depleted. Charge both. Reset the IBS.

Hmmm

The aux battery will keep your computers alive during an ess engine start. Normally during any engine start, you will see a significant voltage drop. Computers don't really care for that so essentially that is what your aux battery is for. I would suspect you will see the avengers light due...

Yes, he will need to take it for a drive to see the message.

Let's try charging both batteries independently and doing an IBS reset. If you are capable, remove the ground cable from the main negative post. Keep it isolated! To verify you have disconnected the main ground, all power should be removed from the vehicle. If you still have lights on the...

Let's assume that your ESS page says not ready battery charging. After your long ride and start stop still not showing ready, you can try charging both batteries independently and resetting the IBS. Your previous battery replacement in July could have been done incorrectly and your IBS is...

What does the ESS page say? Big clue there! 14.3vdc tells me the alternator is attempting to charge the batteries. That could be normal!

One was me. I hit the button and nothing happened. I hit refresh and that button worked. I hit the post button again and nothing.

I think the Aux battery went bad in the server and the harddrive was starting to tick.

The OEM radiator will be fine. 2x-3x the cost is why I feel he should go OEM. As long as he keeps the gorillas from working on it, it should last a long time. My I have 23 year old vehicles with plastic tanks. No need for the extra expense in my opinion.

I like interstate batteries. They are what I use most.

This reminds me of a weekend I had in Murphy NC with my 91 Crown Vic. My friend was hosting a 4WD challage course, and I was bummed that I could not make it. My wife was in school, and was writing her thesis. I had the sole responsibility of our 3 children, ages 4,5 and 6. I took them camping...
