I usually pull the Advanced buy on line with coupon and P/U at store. You can usually find a 30-40% off coupon on line TRT41 (40 off 100) and A123 (25 off 70). As for CCA and CA, the higher the better for the size that fits in vehicle. Can't be too high but can be too low. Just meet the minimum for the truck. My bike needs the highest I can find for the size (frame).

Sorry. I got you now. Those are good numbers. In fact, they are the same as what I have in mine now but I have two of them

So just to provide an update. I bought the AutoCraft Extreme from AAP online with a $50 discount code (DOW44 for any interested). So it came out to 120 total and the free install was quick and painless. I'm just glad she's back on the road!

Majority of batteries are all the same, you pay more for the warranty..

cold cranking amps, is cca, if you tow a trailer, run aftermarket electronic equipment, or have a factory tow package, or live in a igloo, you want the higher cca...

750 cca is fine for a daily use, I talk smack with mopar but your dodge dealer might have the better deal on a battery.

Interstate and die hard are typically what I buy..

Those are very good numbers 08. Always try to go a little larger in the cca department when buying a replacement battery. It might cost a little more but well worth the cost
