    During the 12v install, the little vent hose pulled completely out of the floor hole. I simply reinserted it into the floor hole, and connected the other end to the 12v battery vent hole. This is fine right?

    yes, it's just a safety vent in case the battery makes any hydrogen.

    Hi Metrolens. Thanks for posting this update -- how did the AC Delco fare over time? Would you recommend it?

    Hey, so far it's been flawless. Not a single regret.

    How about now Metrolens? I keep reading these drop dead right around the 2 year time frame. I got into a little tiff with Amazon and as a result got mine for free. I want to stay ahead of the battery dying since I got the freebie.
