Well today I was servicing the m1009 (changing all fluids, greasing up the ball joints repacking bearings,changing filters, etc...) and while i was addind the oil to the engine i heard a sizzle and then a real big BOOOOOOOOOOM

Plastic pieces are flying everywhere, hit me in the face,chest,arms,amd beat the underside of the hood up. After the debris has settled i looked over tp find the top of the battery closest to the fire wall has lost its topp( it exploded). All I could think was Holy @#$& and how the @#$& did that happen but I am ok.

So iI had to spend the money today and get some new batteries i bought 2 napa commericail batteries with the screw tops which I must say fit the battery trays real good.

After further inspection of the exploded battery(could of happened during the boom) I found a smalll crack next to the positve terminal. i did have the opertunity to get pics of it (the last thing on my mind) srry guys but i was more concentrated on getting the acid cleaned up and getting the truck fixed and I took the battery into napa for a core charge lol
