Larger Battery Option?
Most of the current battery sizing guides say that two Group 65 batteries are correct for our truck, but the trays and such in the truck look like they could fit a significantly larger battery. Are there any other larger sizes of battery that could fit under our hoods and in our stock trays/brackets/etc.?

I have had it for over 5 years and it works great.

Okay, that's just a brand (made by Johnson Controls) - I'm talking about the physical battery size.

It's in the glove compartment of my truck. It's raining and I will look in the morning and send a PM.

i think the big problem is with height hitting the hood when closed.
the batteries in my mack trucks will fit the box, but are 1 inch too tall and would short out when the hood is closed.
