    I've used that to find parts nationwide and see pricing then limited the search to more local places, this way i know if the local guys are high or low.

    NEVER "pass" on a battery until after you verify the manufacture date on the case and modules. Sometimes there are diamonds in the rough. I've nailed a couple HV batteries <2 years old for the price of a core.

    Yes had second thoughts, only problem its 4 hours away. We were babysitting granddaughters so heading back in 10 days to babysit again. Interior panels were still intact so will take the appropriate tools.
