Battery replacement recommendations

[dkfc13]

Are those of you that have switched to the platinum/odyssey seeing any difference in the truck operation. My stock 4 year old battery ****** out good with 800CCA. The reason I ask is because it seems like the the stk batt does not last so well.

I think my truck idles much smoother. I have been meaning to replace the spark plugs although now I wonder if it is even necessary.

After I replaced the battery with the DHP, I can honestly say I have never heard an engine crank over so fast. If you plan on running off-road accessories, this is the battery to have.

Thanks for the info. Did you anything special to switch out the battery as in keeping power to the truck to save computer settings and radio info?

No, I pulled the old one out and put the new one in. Took a few minutes, all my saved settings were kept.

Left my parking lights on last night. Went to go to work this morning, battery dead. It was putting out 5 volts. 15 mins on the battery charger - truck started. Unbelievable.

Seems like I'm lucky to have the stock battery last 3 years. It's died twice now while I'm gone. This is the correct size Diehard correct?

@The Macf Just came across this Duralast Platinum. Was curious if it was the same type as the Diehard Platinum/Odyssey Extreme? It doesn't seem like the Diehard is available much if at all anymore. If it's the same, definitely nice because AutoZone's are everywhere...makes it easy to exchange out if problems...
