My original batts were Interstates, good batteries in my opinion. Went to find replacements for my truck at sams and they couldn't sell me the correct batt if their life depended on it. I ended up going to mopar for new ones. They charged me $65 each and from what I understand the mopar batts are the same as interstates. I've had them on my truck for 2 yrs now with now problem.

well, i went to Wal Mart, Advance Auto and Mills Fleet Farm. I was looking for most powerful battery with a good warranty still. Advance auto was 750 CCA, wal mart was 770 CA and finally, the MFF batteries, which i got, were as follows.











So thats why i got the MFF batteries.

I also went and bought the exact same batteries for my 99. I have only had good luck in the past with MFF batteries and good warranty also. I like that they engrave it .No need to keep the sales receipt. On sale $69.00

Consumer reports just did an article on batteries. Believe it or not, the Costco 900 CCA batteries did very well, cost about $55 each, and come with a 84 month warranty.

NAPA batteries always seemed to last a long time and always performed at higher cranking amps than they were rated.
