What does 7.3 mean?
I appreciate the answers you all have given me. And 2Oldman made me realize I made a typo. The batteries were almost 5 years old, not 6.
Ford used the Navistar International 7.3 liter diesel under the trade name Power Stroke from 1993 to 2003 when government regs killed it. It's known even today as a bulletproof wonder. Mine turned 114,100 miles on its way to get new batteries today. History
The batteries took a charge and the engine started. I've replaced the original batteries with Walmart 65Ns twice before, and after researching reviews, decided to stick with them. $220 plus tax, installed. I was considering Costco for $90 each, no installation available there, but they no longer carry the house branded ones. It's now an Interstate branded battery that isn't giving the service of the Costco brand according to my research.
My information is there are three manufacturers, Delphi, Exide, with Johnson Controls making most. So I expect the differences would be in the specs the brands ask for.
