I have a 2005 6.0 and am curious what batteries you all are running in your diesel. I searched the forum and was surprised to not find this being a topic (maybe I searched poorly?).
My stock batteries made it about 4 years and i replaced them with optima red tops. I was originally disappointed with how much smaller the new batteries were but ultimately abandoned this concern as they lasted for over six years. Needless to say I ordered two more anticipating similar longevity but have since been disappointed in the fact that my current set has lasted less than 3 years. They started giving me problems at about the 2 year mark and I have been nursing them along for the past 6 months or so. The batteries currently will not start the truck if it has sat for more than one day regardless of being on a charger or not.
I am looking at the interstate MTZ-65 and am curious if anyone has any experience with these or the odyssey 65? I have never heard of the odyssey before but the CCA looks good and I am curious what most others experiences are with these or other batteries.
I am currently waiting to see what amazon is willing to do about the early death of my batteries. If they send me two new optimas then I will be putting new optimas in, but in the event they do nothing, or refund me some money, I am curious what route others have had success with as I do not see myself putting anymore optimas in this truck.
Thank you.
