Question Battery Tie Downs

All,

I just realized that neither of the 2 batteries are secured under the hood. I found some battery tie downs on amazon. Amazon says it will fit. Anyone ever replace theirs? Any recommendations?

Those look correct, I don't see any reason they will not work.

The diesels come with 2 batteries from the factory. I assume yours is a gasser?

Adding a 2nd battery or tie down? See images below of the 7.3L, with 2 batteries.

My Ex was the same when I bought it. A visit to the local Napa took care of me. Not sure of the cost difference but doesn't matter to me when I can support local and know that if it doesn't fit/work I can easily return/exchange in one afternoon.
