Duralast's Gold has gotten good reviews.
I run a red top though, had I known about the Gold I would have gotten one instead, much cheaper.

So I'm guessing your temp gauge is one of them that is screwy, hey 100k now a days is nothing! lots of vehicles are considered low mileage around here with 120k for cars and 150k for some older trucks like 97-04 is considered low by local dealers here seems kinda sad

my dads 3 cars have well over 160-240k miles on them and they still run like they are braught off the assembely line. i think it is all about mantenence of the vehicle. i have seen some that has the same and look great but run poor. i think it is a flip of a coin on the vehicles out there but it is most of what we car lovers do to keep them in prestene running order to our liking

Totally agreed its a chance of luck on a vehicle I use to never even look at a vehicle with more than 130k now for the right price I've been considering an LS with leather and a sunroof and 242k as a backup car for winter
