    Got the DieHard Platinum 35 put in yesterday. Fits fine. No issues. Truck definitely seems to turn over faster now.

    Win.

    I love my Diehard platnum deep cycle! I run upgraded sound, light bar, winch, HID's, along with normal battery functions and it has never failed me. I had the Optima 6 cell which was good up until year 2.75 until it quit holding a charge. Sears used to carry the optima and then upgraded to the diehard as their go to deep cycle. 5/5 stars from me!

    Auto Zone top of the line for me ;-) I bought their AGM battery, OEM replacement. Starts way faster now, though the girl behind the counter said I wouldn't be able to jump start it if I had to?

    Any thoughts to this? Though she did say the alternator doesn't charge the battery but rather just powers the trucks electrical needs..think she might be smoking something.

    This girl was the manager mind you, goes to show. I was going to school her, been working on cars for 15 years. Anyways figured it wasn't worth it. Plus she was freaking me out, she was all undressing me with her eyes :eek: I wouldn't have mind but this girl was nothing to look at LOL I don't ever think I've been to an auto store and seen a hottie working the counter :(
