The OE mopar batteries in my 2005 3500 are still in there,10 years and 6 months old still cranks the truck even when its been sitting for a week or more.However I dont leave home without a good set of jumper cables along just in case.I thought about replacing them with factory OE batteries,I am just wondering if they would be as good quality as the factory originals.Anyone have opinions
I personally went with Napa batteries because I get a really good deal through work. If I were you, I would just go to the local dealer and pick up a couple from them. If I remember correctly there wasn't much difference in the price from the dealer and the local auto parts houses. This is just my opinion though. The great thing about your engine is that it will turn over and start off of just one battery so it is very easy to jump.
