Default what batteries to get

What do you all recommend for batteries. I am going to replace mine. I have an 06 3500 with about 150,000 km's on her and live where it gets really cold. I never had problems with the stock batteries mind you..

Any suggestions

Thanks again

The only bad thing about the Optimas is they now only have a three year warranty.

I would say Blue or Yellow top optima's for the diesel. you want the reserve capacity. spend the little extra, red tops are great batteries also.
