Could have been Red, but when I post the pic's you'll be able to see the diff's from all the other 9400's out there. :wink:

well there's this link:

But everything is dead on that website, no contact #'s and the "shopping cart" doesn't work.

Very well priced considering they're an AGM battery.

Did you also notice this off the original website I gave you:

http://www.universalpowergroup.com/specs/40994.pdf

Very nice specs for deep cycling.

A couple things though, these batteries are a lot heavier then usual "group 31". I don't even know if you can consider them group 31, they're 2 inches taller then any group 31 I've seen.

I do remember that site Allan,
The AGM batteries are a great step above my flooded batteries. The batteries you mentioned are 87lbs!!! wow :shock: thats a dense battery compared to the size of mine.
My batteries are 17" tall 7" wide and 11 1/2" long and 100lbs. I have enough room for 4 more of these if I need to expand, and like I said,...over the 3 to 5 year life span of these batteries,...the price should come down on the AGM's and make them more cost effective. For now, I don't mind checking my water levels every month.

Hey Red,..did the truck say Doghouse Express on it??

[Red Clay Rambler]

I'm not sure, couldn't read the company name from across the interstate. It resembled the photo in your avatar alot.

Ok,...my truck looks a little different now but, most 9400 are kept plain like mine anyway.
You'll be able to see my company name from half a mile away 30" by 50" full color signs. On the side of the sleeper and on the back also.

Do you have a specific date when your heading out? Is your truck posted now?

[Doghouse]

No specific date as of yet,..I'm bidding on a part on E-Bay right now and if I win it in 2days and 4hrs,.....I'll be heading out to pick it up on the way to St Louis to get my straps,chains,tarps and the rest.
I won't be posting my truck in Florida, I'll be posting in Wisconsin (Stanley is where my trailer is).
Right now I'm decompressing from all the constant work I have done since January. From doing two complete home renovations (2 kitchens,2 A/C systems, and a sprinkler system) to rebuilding this truck,....the only time I had off was my Grand Canyon trip,... that was nice but way too short.
I'm going to go watch some movies, celebrate the sale of my house, prepare for what I will need on the road,...did I mention get some rest??
Of course my girls mom is preparing a party (she will put a party together for anything) for my send off,...I'm sure it will involve smashing a bottle of champagne on my truck (I hope nothing falls off), and I will just head out the next day.
I have to now convince the IFTA that I have not driven a single mile or bought a single gallon of fuel since I got my authority 3 months ago.

I went through the same thing. I just filled out everything as zero and wrote a post it note that I haven't started running yet.

Thanks Steve,...I'll do that so the don't take away my sticker.
