I've got another vehicle to drive for a day or two, so I'm still researching batteries. But I have came to the conclusion that I think I agree with most of you in saying that $250-$300 battery just doesn't add up. Maybe if I was driving a plow truck or something.
After most of the strong comments on Walmart's EverStart's, I started looking at the local store and they have about 4 different ones, ranging from about $80 to about $115. I'm actually considering an $87 EverStart Plus with the 2 year warranty. It's an odd group size, but the book says it'll fit, and its 770cca. I'll look at some of the other specs tomorrow.
The local Carquest has there line and they're made by East Penn Manufacturing, and I've been reading a lot of good things about them. So I'm going to call them tomorrow and see what they've got in stock and prices. I do get a company discount there.
Also, are the new Exide's any better than they were a few years ago. I know they went thru a bankruptcy and apparently had all sorts of quality control issues, but the local TSC has them priced right, between $80 and $105. Just don't know if they're in the same class as the other two. thanks for all the info.

It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer. It was an Allis-Chalmers tractor dealership,
