All I can say is WOW what a difference vs my OEM Motorcraft 535amp battery!! My truck would crank with the Motorcraft battery, but it seemed to always struggle or just turn over slow. I replaced the OEM battery when it went flat after the 10 minutes it took to replace the front speakers!

Good choice! I have one in my truck also.

That's what I have too. No complaints.

I guess Im lucky with the original battery in my truck then. 6 years old with 103k and I havent had any trouble with it.

Even before it died after 10 minutes with the radio on. My truck never started what I'd call strong. I honestly thought I had a weak starter until I swapped out the battery.

I participated in dozens of battery debate threads on Jeepforum, so when it came time for my Jeep needing a new battery I also wanted the Die Hard Platinum. but sadly I found out that they are made in china..... so I found an alternative

made in Pennsylvania. very similar power. and the same warranty as the Die Hard.

oh, did I mention its 80 bucks cheaper?

Not a bad find. I was going to stick an Optima in my Ford (have one in my 05 Rubicon it's a 5 year old yellow top and it's still going strong) but I wasn't going to modify the battery holder for the 34 Group vs 65 Group.

I had a battery like that one you found in my 04 Grand Cherokee, and I had some weird problems with 2 of them. I got a third replacement and it worked okay, but it started acting weird again so I replaced it with an Interstate and no more problems.

I thought the diehard platinum was made by Odyssey batteries in the USA? I don't know- but I had that same question and that's what I was finding. I hope it is.

It is!

I have a Caterpillar battery. 3 year free replacement warranty plus I work for a Cat dealer so I get them for cost.
