That is DAMN tempting, since mine's on the way out...

 

I usually buy Walmart Everlast batteries. They have 2 year free replacement, so every 2 years I would take the battery in and tell them it wouldn't hold a charge. They used to just take my word and replace it and i had another new battery and warranty. Last time I took one it, the store I took it to had a fancy electronic tester and did a big long test on it then spit out a report say the condition of the battery and whether or not it should be replace. It failed, but barely. Now I guess I will just have to kill them before I take them in,

 

i had a battery do that on me once...i ended up with a walmart one..lol.. ever last or ever start something like that but worked very well and right before the warranty expired i drained it by leaving the stereo on and took it in and got a brand new one.. i would normally not do this but i was on a college budget at that time, and well money was soooper tight so i improvised lol

 

i like how we posted talmost the same story at almost the same time lmao!!!

 

Delco or deka, you can keep the rest.. I am still rocking the orig batt in the truck from 03.(just jinxed myself)

 

'01 Ext Cab here, still on original battery, as well. It has turned into a "let's see how long it will go" thing now. Without getting into a "who has the best battry contest, let me just make a comment on Delco Batteries. They offer 2 styles, the -60, -50 series, and the 5-yr, 6-yr, 7-yr series. Best to stay away from the 5,6,7-yr series batteries, as they have a high failure rate. The 50,60 series batteries are very dependable and are a better value, as well. Just my experience, guys!!

 

I like the ac delco and interstate batteries. the best boat anchors around are the red top optimas.. ive been thru several on my truck and race car.

 

Duralast Professional from AutoZone...picked mine up for $69 & warranty holds out as long as i hold onto the receipt...

 

I found myself a Delco professional series 7yr 800CCA battery yesterday for $90 exchanged after tax. I couldn't beat that. It's built MUCH BETTER than the 6 yr one that came in my truck originally and looks like it BELONGS there.

 

My original delco did that very same thing with the neg terminal.
