Are you guys ready for this? I took the old battery in for the core charge refund, and had the place test it. So, my TEN year old battery tested GOOD! The guy asked me if I still wanted the new one. Haha. Of course I took the new one, but damn!

Here's a couple photos of the voltage regulator that I'm replacing. The back of it has some cracking it looks like....don't know if that's normal or not, but it doesn't look great.

Finally, does anyone know where to get these type of cable ties? I spent way too much time getting one to release hoping to re-use it, then with the other two got frustrated and said F it and cut them off. Do auto parts stores have these, or are they more specialized than that?

I replaced this piece with zip tie. Insert zip tie from top side to the hole, then make a loop around you wires and insert zip tie back in the hole, then lock and tighten zip tie. Done!
VR is junk. i previously told you that. heat melted the factory insulating sealant.
10177 is nothing more than a push-mount cable tie. available online for cheap. the style of the stud differs slightly but makes no difference as it's hidden when installed. i keep them in stock.
