Which battery to buy?
 
Im in need of a new battery, was looking at the yellow top optimas but read somewhere that they aren't as good as they use to be. Im still running on the original with 650CCA but i think i need something with more juice as i have problems starting on really cold days and when i leave it sitting for a day or two. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

I have had no problems with Duralast Gold tops from Autozone. I have it on both my vehicles with no issues starting in the cold.

I completely swear by Motorcraft batteries. I put the diesel battery in my 95 XLT for more power. I would see what is available from the parts dept at your local dealer. They also last considerably longer than any other batteries I have used.
