Be interested in the configuration for your truck, but as has been mentioned, and I have found out the hard way: read your insurance policy carefully -- they have a team of lawyers that write those things so they can get OUT of paying...

Do you prefer a certain manufacture for your AGM Batt?

Actually I've found some of the cheapest eBay ones (with Sellers that warranty their stuff) have been fine. The only AGM I have had a problem with was an Optima red-top in a Jeep, but I think I should have gone deep cycle for the winch, it barely lasted 2 years -- so I somewhat consider that one on me.
