What's best on our 2nd gen? and what's the differences between red yellow or blue?

Red is standard, yellow is deep cycle and blue is marine. I would get the yellow or blue.

 

that's ok! what means deep cycle? and what amp, like my standard dodge batteries or high?

 

Take a look here.

If I was going with the Optimas this is the one I would get:

Here's my luck with Optimas battery's

My last pair of redtops lasted 12 years.
The blue and yellow tops are an overkill unless you plan on running your batteries down so far
that they won't start your truck and then need the qualities of a deep cycle.
I used group 35

 

good to know I put red tops on my truck 3 months ago

 

Your lack of research is not our fault!

Hopefully you have better luck with them than me.

 

Just changed out my Optima's Red Top's went 7 years, went to blue tops, liked the wing nuts for for acessorys about 155.00- each at Costco, if you have a problem with them , no questions asked, full refund cannot beat that!
