Group 48 battery question

I have a group 48 battery in a 2007 Silverado 2500HD with a 6.0. It is the original battery and I am looking for a replacement. I have found that the group 48 batteries are not carried by many dealers. Has anyone used a group 24F as a replacement? I would like to purchase at Costco but they no longer carry that group. I have found the group 48's at a few auto parts store but they would have to order it. I would like a battery that I could get replaced (if a problem arises) while on the road at a store on the west coast and southwest. Any suggestions are appreciated.

    I went with the Sears Die Hard Gold AGM size 48. No matter where you are, you shouldn't be too far from a Sears.

    I have the same truck. I installed a Costco Group 24 Deep Cycle in the Aux. battery location. I had to have my main battery replaced this year and I had to get one from the dealer no one else had a Group 48. As I only use Delco or Costco it didn't give me much of a choice.

    Your truck wont know the difference. You could just shop by general size, type, and cold cranking amps. You'll be just fine.

    Deja batteries or interstate. You could also look at a marine starting or deep cycle.
