S[eaking of batteries.. I am going on my fourth year with my Duralast Gold
from Autozone. This is probably the best battery I have ever had in my DAK.
I would buy another one of these. Last winter, after my truck sat for over 2
weeks. I went outside and turned it over like it was 70 deg. outside.
Amazing battery.
