Truck battery eval
Hi guys! I figured the folks here could explain to me what's going on with the batteries under the hood of my truck. I have a 2006 Dodge Ram diesel 4x4 short bed truck. It has 70,000 miles on it ...

Interesting but that isn't the same battery in my truck. When the Sun comes up, I'll open the hood, get the numbers off it, and edit this post.
Edit: Well, I checked out the battery and the part and serial number spaces are blank. There is a "made in Mexico" stamp on the case, though. Since Johnson Controls has a plant down there, it could probably be presumed it is made by Johnson.
This battery is labeled "Motorcraft Max" and "Max power", not that it means a darn thing, just different labeling.
I have no idea if the original I got 10 years from is this same battery or not. I did buy it at a Ford dealer but that means little. BTW, those were not an easy 10 years by any means, 2000 W sound system and a cranky door sensing switch that keeps the cabin light lit long after the key is removed.
