Glad we could help...lol.


When you put in your new ones, be sure to spray the terminals with battery post protective coating. It does help.

Fred, make sure you get the 850 CCA batteries and don't be too stingy. I just rebatted my truck in Michigan, cost was 235.00. Beats the hell out of walking 6 miles from Deer camp.
