Best Batteries PART 2
Okay I have to buy new batteries and I'm undecided as to what to get. I have replaced mine with the Motorcraft two years ago and one is already bad. I've heard bad things about Optima for the 7.3. What about Die-Hard, Interstate, etc..
Give me some guidance!

dont shoot me but I'm going to say A/C Delco .. I have them in the wreckers at work we get 5 or 6 years out of them... I run 2 1000 cca Delcos in my 79 as well they are on their 4th year and I have had no issues.. I'm waiting for my 2 Interstates to go in the F250 I will be installing 2 1000 cca Delco's in it as well oh as far as interstate thats what I have now they are 2 years old Im sure they will be replaced this winter as I noticed the truck cranks slower and slower daily...lol Its not the starter its only drawing 280-300 amps Last edited by Cj Ford : 07-19-2008 at 11:41 AM.

Optima are unreliable I would stay far away from them. Interstate and Diehard are made by Johnson controls and are very reliable. The best batteries that I have every used are the Autozone Duralast Gold and they to are made by Johnson controls. Excide batteries are total crap.

I went with the Everstart yellow ones from Wal Mart, they are not too bad, maybe not the best, but Wal Marts warranty sure is. I think on those it is 3 year OTC replacement, no pro rating  Most of the time WM is a hassle free return.
