Yeah, the few Duralasts I've had have actualy been really good... Somehow an Interstate got put into my S10 Blazer, and the only time it had trouble was when I stupidly was running 15w-40 in -0 temps.

I gotta get me a new battery for the F150, cause the one in there, I dont think would turn over my 65 VW Beetle reliably... But I knew that when I bought the truck.

The keyword to that statement is that they are "mainly" made by the same company. That means some are some arent. In my opinion not worth the chance of being left stuck but thats just my two cents. Good luck buddy hope all goes well!!

Exactly. It's a toss-up whether or not you'll get a good one.
