Just last week replaced the OEM original battery in my 2004 F150 "Heritage" that I bought new Oct/Nov of 2003. Truck has about 66k on it only. It was getting weak last fall and the last time I had driven the truck in January I had to put the charger on it. It was dead a couple weeks ago and would barely take any charging current. I probably should have replaced it a year ago for summer road trips but wanted to see how long it would last. So about 14-1/2yrs.
As for tires, in Sept 2014 (~11yrs old), I had one of the original tires on the truck have tread separation and a foot long chunk came off the RR tire making for horrible vibration. I was towing my unloaded 18" car hauler at the time whose tires were not so good and thought it was the trailer. I stopped to check the trailer tires 2 times out on the road and could not see anything going on with them so I kept going with the vibration getting worse. Finally the last time I stopped to check the trailer again I spotted the tread missing from the truck tire and put the spare on. Replaced all the tires right after as I was planning on a 600 mile round trip. Those tires had about 49k on them and looked fine w/o any cracks, etc.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
