What battery should I get?
Been shopping around for batteries..
My current running options are:
NAPA LEGEND 880CCA for $129. (reg $171 but getting a shop discount)
OR
FLEETSAVER EXIDE 870CCA for $107.
(PS, motocraft at the local ford was $171 each + tradein or $10 fee)
One of my motocraft is getting weak and my starter is starting to grind sometimes..
(cleaned the starter and put a new soleniod on, when the truck is fully charged or boosted, it never grinds)
I would be replacing these in pairs.

I have the SUPER START brand from Oreilly auto parts. They are made by DEKA. 1040 CA and 880 CCA. They were 124.00 each. Seem to be holding up well and have a 3 year free replacement warrany and 7 year total warranty. No complaints yet.
