    I'm not sure, I'd have to do some investigation. What kind over car is it going in?

    He doesn't need one right now, he's just trying to pick the brain of a battery geek. No need to spend any time on this.

    I'm interested in the conversation.

    I need new batteries for my Duramax. I've been driving it regularly up until the past few weeks. A week or so ago I tried starting it after sitting over a week and I had the throw the charger on it for a bit. Yesterday, same thing after sitting for a day. These are the factory batteries and it's a 10yr old truck. I guess it's time.

    Ive passed thru lurking some here and there, keeping an eyeball on you folks.
    Really, I appreciate the thought, Gasifier, with colder temps rolling in, I'll be stopping by more often.

    Hoping this finds all of you and yours doing well. Peace.

    Hey, I bought a NAPA Legend and a Deka Ultimate (same specs), will this be a problem?

    The batteries we're replacing are for an '05 Duramax too!

    As long as they are the same type, age, and capacity, which I'm assuming they are, you won't have any problems.

    You always want to replace them in pairs.

    I'm not too well versed in what's what in automotive batteries, but I am willing to do some research and offer any suggestions.

    eh, it used to be cool, now its just a POS that I cant afford to replace. Still turns heads though! Might be because its usually loaded to hell with firewood!

    my wife just called me into the bathroom from the shower. She asked why theres no hot water? I checked the sink, and found it plenty hot. So I reached my hand in and cranked the water full cold for a second until she screamed, then yanked it back to full hot again and asked if that felt any better.

    :rofl: :lol:

    She tells me that "its on" when she gets out. This should be interesting.
