I installed the DC power 185 on our rig this past summer. It's helped in a couple of ways.

1. The charging voltage is consistently higher. 14.0 - 14.6 volts regardless of what's running.

2. The voltage at startup is 12.5 - 13.0 which helps the truck run better in cold weather. Prior to installing the DC my voltage was below 12 for the first 2 min and the truck really chugged and ran rough.

I personally had good luck with the unit I received and it's working great since day 1.

Good luck with your decision!

I understand about the kid hauler, having 2 kids makes a car OK for everyday running. I have gasser daily drivers, the Ex is reserved for road trips, towing and handing large loads and I usually park it in the driveway where I don't have to move it around, my Durango (my son drives it) can handle most of the trailer spotting in the driveway.
