    Thats what i was thinking too about the delco. Just called AAP and motolite delivery.. Too bad they don't have stock of motolite for the burb. 3 weeks na silang out and they have no idea when they'll have stocks. I guess i don't have a choice Wow 52,000kms. in 11 years! Mine is 2004 and i'm almost 150,000 kms.

    Back to AC Delco again. Oh well.

    That Suburban was bought mainly because our Land Cruiser 80 series got into an accident with a wayward dump truck tire that got loose and went head-on at SLEX. It put the LC in the repair shop for months with the uncertainty of being repaired well (and Toyota stopped selling the LC80 so a new was uncertain just as well) so we got the Burb as a replacement. After the LC80 was repaired, it turned out quite well and the Burb became a garage queen. A friend was offering to buy it from us before and convert it to a funeral hearse in their business but the personalized plate made us refuse the offer The new owner jumped at it as the plates had the same initials as his kids.

    I was checking online and there's this brand, Varta batteries, with DIN88 also. But it's being sold for 14K++; parang Optima na rin.

    No more pics... that happened in 1998 which was way before we had digicams (i dont know if we still have the accident and insurance report filed away somewhere). Thankfully it was the LC80 that was hit since if it was our other usual out of town car that time (a 94 Galant VR), damage and injuries may have been the case, but it wasnt as the height and mass of the LC took the brunt (the engine radiator and cylinder head was damaged, along with the battery which was shattered basically). The 80 is still running well up to this day in spite of the sub-par repair of Toyota Shaw.

    Walang sinasanto ang mga side mirror thieves. My aunt lost her Expy sidemirrors near Banawe a couple of months ago.

    thats where i bought the delco..the guy who's selling varta batteries too for 14k. I remeber waay back I love interstate batteries that was being sold in CATS. those are though suckers not to mention CCA. Kinda expensive though but very much worth it for me. Buti nalang LC80 yung nabangga at hindi yung galant but damn with those damges that you mention in an lc80 that must have been hard on the occupants. True that on the thieves mine was stolen dec. pa can't find a pair in banawe I will not get in casa or outside parts store here bec. they want an arm and a leg for it. I'm just waiting for someone who can help me ship it too me thru amazon or ebay. Hard to drive this tank with improvised mirrors.

    Never knew we had Interstate Batteries here before. *the LC80, the tire hit a soft spot of the car and jumped up after so the impact wasnt that hard. Scary though to suddenly lose all power, have your hood crumple in front of you and have the windshield bath in oil and battery acid, without knowing what you hit.

    Pricey also with Thunder Auto? I used to buy parts there before and they were at the least, cheaper than Autoworld.

    Sorry for the super late reply. We had interstate batteries before (around 98-2000?) got mine sa CATS greenhills. It's a good thing your LC80 is repaired na. I got the mirrors na with LED signal,heated and auto dimming in ebay for 11,000 pair na shipped. thunder wants 21,000 each.

    same here, bought AC Delco for our Sentra and it last lest than a year. Replace it with Motolite Gold and it last 3.5yrs.

    Now what I did is wrap the battery with the insulator na nilalagay sa roof ng house. so far 1yr and 7 months na yung Motolite Gold sa Swift namin and it still kicking.

    Sir what is the purpose of the insulator? I have been using Motolite Gold in my vehicles and so far it averages to last at least 3.5 years without the insulator.

    im assuming na to prevent heat from the engine bay to affect the battery... Will try this pag nagpalit din ako ng battery.

    Ano usual life ng AC Delco batteries niyo? All Trailblazers come with AC Delco batteries kasi. Pero so far, yung isang Trailblazer owner wala pang problema with his AC Delco battery. TB niya is already 1 year and 2 months old.

    Nakikita ba sa battery niyo kung kelan manufactured? seems odd na ganon kabilis nasisira... ok naman ba water levels? Knock on wood, but I have never experienced a brand new car that had a battery that died in less than a couple of years.

    Sa s&r yung ac delco 2 yrs warranty. Mas ok nga ba ang Motolite vs ac delco? Yung oem battery ko 70Ah varta, ok ba ang Motolite din66? Compare sa ac delco?

    We have Chevrolet Suburban and ACDelco proves his superiority because almost 4years na hindi padin napapalitan and even in Middle East in we are using ACDelco on our Land Cruiser and still for almost 4 years., Our family and is a chevy type brand and most of my friend using ACDelco but we didnt experince bad on ACDelco., And I think its a part of marketing destabilization of other brand.,
