    My batteries were in this truck when I got it two years ago. Four Fleetpride 730 cca. I went with the Interstate batteries they sell here they are 950 cca. I cleaned all connections with a wire brush and truck cranked over and fired up better than it had in two years. I'm guessing those batteries were overdue.

    Anyway I plan on watching TV tonight and see how it cranks over in the morning. I'm confident that I'll be ok. Paid $135 per battery, I think money well spent.

    Thanks for the help.

    Napa part#7236. Great batteries. Been selling them for years at my shop. Don't remember the last time that I had a "lemon"

    The higher the CCA the less the house load those batteries will be able to sustain. That is the tradeoff.
