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.

if ur running that much on the truck you should make sure that you at least have a 100 amp alternator in the truck at a minimum. Then try to change out ur strobes to LED's and never run the heat on full blast while plowing, try to run it at a steady 1/2 or 3/4 withthe temp cranked, if it gets too hot then crack the windows. The other possibility is that the electric motor on the plow is drawing to much juice.
