I just got a Duracell AGM group size 65 at Sam’s club for just over $200. So you’ll go over with tax.

Edit: just read that you got a battery

No that one has a 5.0
My 92 rustbucket has a 5.8. This was about 5 years ago before the rust gods claimed it.





OP, my usual go to non-AGM battery is NAPA Legend. When I bought my 94 Bronco about 2.5 years ago it came with a pretty new looking Interstate battery and I'm still running that.

Going on 3 years old. When it dies, I'll post it in the "what did you do to your truck today" section of the forum. I have one in my Jeep that's 4 years old.

I've had good luck with one of these on a truck that sits for extended periods
