GeorgeB’s 2013 Suburban LTZ “Fin”

George B said:

Found a snowy parking lot and spun the rear wheels a bit. Traction control overreacted as usual and no radio dimming. Did my temporary ground help? I dunno… Maybe it did.
Tossed a new battery in it today. Guessing the Bosch in it was maybe from 2018??? It’s not marked in any way. Bought a Continental battery from my trusted local parts guys for $136 and some change. Research says these guys are partnered with Stryten Manufacturing. Stryten is operating the old Exide plant in Salina KS.

I’m now on my second set of powerstop Z36 rotors and pads. I love them and haven’t had a single issue. They last a good long time which for me in the mountains and towing is great. Their pads make very little dust which I love. I can drive down off the mountain for a dance night and come home and my wheels aren’t totally black from brake dust which is a big plus. They’re super quiet and rotors have never warped. I can’t speak to the Wagner brand a si haven’t used them but love my powerstop setup. I upgraded to GMT900 spec calipers and rotors for fronts and they calipers are good quality as well.

Well, this battery died 18 days before the warranty expired. Not sure I want another one as it gave me very little warning. Plus I already put a new Interstate in it tonight. I had to leave it locked and running in parking lots to finish my errands today.
