One last update, it's starting a LOT better with the motorcrafts than the wallyworlds. I won't be buying those batts anymore. I will say though, my van needed a new battery so I put one of the wally batteries in there, 310cca bigger than the stock one, it sure starts that thing good! It's quite a bit bigger but oriellys had this one as a replacement option, and it bolted right in.

Starter will wait for a while, other priorities.

The truck I just bought had two brand new Napa Legend 880 CCA batteries in it. I've never used the Napa Legends, are they good batteries?

I've not heard anything bad about napa batteries. The main reason I went with motorcraft is the last two instances I've changed original motorcrafts to new batteries one was 8 years old(04 freestar) and the other was 10(01 V10) and both were still working, just starting to crank slower.
