hey guys any recommendations on battery brands?

i came out after work today and the car wouldn't turn over, had to get it jumped. damn cold days and 4+ year old batteries. hopefully they will perfect zero point energy sometime soon and i will never have to worry about this again.

Three things to look at....coolant level(is there a air pocket in the heater core)the new rad maybe causing air pocket..park car on very steep grade(front higher)..open rad cap check for coolant...next check both heater hose off the rad upper and lower are fire hot after car is warmed up(difference in temp needs thermostat......last if all ok lay under dash at pedals looking up were the heater cables attach ...move the heater temp knob make sure heater cam is moving,,,may need a cable..last ,that car is way to nice to drive in the snow,,get the honda out

Thanks Mike, I will check all of those things. I am pretty sure it has coolant, I made sure to fill it up during my winterization festivities. If I can't figure it out I will stop up.

As for your last comment....

Evo loves snow.

See you soon buddy!

I'm sure there will be meets when the weather gets better. That probably won't happen to around March or April.

you're from west virginia?

when the weather is decent out we usually have semi-regular meets at the waterfront in homestead (not sure how familiar you are with the pgh area).

at any rate, welcome to the thread.
