Well battery time came
Went out and moved the car yesterday and my cell phone wouldn't connect and then my inside trunk release wouldn't work. I put it in reverse and the backup camera would not work.So after studying the issue I concluded it to be battery related. Voltage was a 12V which was low for a battery at rest. Did a load test and it came up bad. So my OEM 2010 battery was on its way out . Jumped into my truck and got a new battery. Did a hot swap and put the charger on it for a few hours and everything returned back to normal. So 6 years seemed to be the limit. So here we are with 43K miles on a 6 year old car . Had to replace 4 tires at 35K and now a battery and most likely brakes and rotors. Maybe I'll get rid of it sooner then my 50K target but we'll have to see.
