Midwest SS' Garage \ 408 project

I'll stand by my yellow top till it lets me down. My truck was down for 2 almost 3 months. Battery was completely out. After everything was back together truck started on first crank. Been in the truck for 5 years with a system the whole time. In Arizona we say "you don't buy batteries here...you just rent them". My mom has a 98 Suburban and she's gone through 4 interstate batteries in the same amount of time. Father-in-law has an 03 dodge ram...65k miles...hes gone through 5 drualast golds in 5 years.

I had a yellow top in the truck that was totalled after hitting an elk, the battery was smashed into the firewall, the next day i went out to the truck, and it still started, only reason i dont own one now is cuz ive been spending money on other crap, but itll soon have one.

We all know the ACDelco battery is more expensive but there is a reason, it's designed to last.

one night on a trickle charger.. she fired right up!

Since when did you have to pull the heads? Valve covers , loosen rocker arms , remover push rods , intake , remove lifters. left a few steps out but you get the point.
