I have since paid $200 a piece for Sears Platinum diehard batteries which have so far lasted 3 problem free years in my diesel plow truck. With starting, electric plow, duel strobe lights and heater running it beats batteries up. The Sears batteries have a 4 year replacement warrantee.
Many swear by interstate including the diesel repair shop that I use.
Just saying Sam’s club and Walmart may have a good battery but then again it may only last a year.
I totally agree Napa Batteries are crap, or at least used to be. I went thru several quite a while back, they didn't last well at all. I had tried them as Napa was close and Sears was quite a trip. I now make the time to go buy the Diehards it is worth the drive to get a batterie that lasts.
