I have a 2011 LR4 with 86,000 miles. I had to replace the Interstate battery and original alternator about 9 months ago. At the time everything seemed to go smoothly. I had the alternator rebuilt, and I replaced the 3 year old Interstate battery with an Interstate AGM (MT5-94R H7).
Was I supposed to use an OBD tool (such as Gap) or bring it to the dealership to have the "battery type" updated or something? I didn't do this. Like I said, at the time the truck started well and I didn't have any issues. But now the battery seems to be dying quickly and doesn't seem to be able to start the vehicle well if the LR4 sits a few days. I have to use a jump pack to get it started. It's on the battery charger now.
Thanks for your replies.
