in need of a battery

[Slammed96]

if you dont mind spending a little, go with an optima. They last forever and aren't affected by vibration or angle (sideways, upsidedown) like a standard battery

I have always had good luck with interstate but, I have heard powermaster xs batteries are awesome and thats what I will be getting next.

I buy the advance batteries. Use em, abuse, and return em for a new one when they crap out.

Kind off like the easy bar hoes

I bought my Optima 3 years ago(in the desert they say you rent batteries not buy them) and I've never had a problem...the truck sat for almost 2 months with the battery out. Didn't even hesitate on the first crank.

My mom bought an interstate at the same time and has gone through 3 batteries since...and she doesn't even have a system.

Well right after I posted this the ol delco started the yukon for the last time it was 20degout and it struggled but fired and I was riding down the interstate and my ses light came on so I stoped by the local autozone to pull the codes and it came up missfire.when I went to leave it wouldn't crank. :/ I replaced it with a duralast gold 1000ca 800cca 8yr warranty. $106. Now at cold idle and light throttlw cruise I have a missfire :/ I guess its fime for new plugs! Any suggestions? Was gona pick up some ac delco plugs while I was there but figured I'd get some suggestions before I buy them.

By far the optima I had a 900 cca red top on my other truck for SIX years and running a 4000 watt stereo and all acessories and when I got my new truck I got another two years put of it before it would stain a little to start so I got 8 yrs out of my red top and I still use it from time to time to start a lawn mower or two

i used to swear by my optima...but it froze after truck sat for a week in driveway. This one is only 4 months old. My last one was 4-5 years. Duralast Gold are pretty good batteries. I'm probably going to get a 34-78 (dual side and top post) in the next week or two.


For plugs....ac delco iridiums if you dont want to mess with them for another 100k miles. NGK TR55 if you want to save some money, and don't mind changing them every year or two. (TR55ix is an iridium version of same plug...but for that price, I'd rather run delco)

You must have had a bad battery. My yellow top sat for 6 weeks total. And cranked like the first day I bought it.
