Batteries?

[RichardT]

IS anyone else getting tired of crapping walmart batteries that last 2 years? Whats another good battery to use. I'm thinking of going with Optima red top, Just not sure of cranking amps. I'd like 1000 crank & at least that in cold cranking Anyone using these battieries? any advice on which ones to get. I had a hard time crank my truck over this past weekend since it was cold & I'm almost postive I have a few gp's out. But after that episode. those batteries just aren't the same. they won't make it much longer. and seems like every 2 years i'm replacing batteries. Need something that will last.

my factory batteries lasted alot longer than my duralast golds. got 11 months outta that set. before that had stock batteries in it. go get some from your dealer.

I use the red tops and haven't had any issues. I got tired of fighting corrosion and I've been happy ever since

i love my optimas, agreed no corrosion or mess is nice.

Try the Yellow Tops (the "reds" are the cheap ones) the best price I found is at a place called Battery Giant for $125 + $30 shipping on the D34's

D34-78-YT $124.95 at Battery Giant

I would have loved to get those D31A's in but they're almost 10 inches Tall (they'd be sticking out of my hood )

Sounds like a good system you have going there!!

Yah the only pain is one always dies first. They won't replace them in pairs under warrenty but the one ussually goes with in a week or so.
