The Diehard Platinums are AGM batteries made by Oddyssey in the USA nad "rebranded" for Sears.



They are an EXCELLENT battery with a 48 month replacment and 100 month prorated warranty.

They even have a carry handle, which is a good thing cause these suckers are HEAVY.



Here is a link to the P2/Group 65 for 3rd gen trucks--

What fish said. Btw, I found a coupon code for an additional 5% if you order online. It is csosave5. Have a pair sitting in my shopping cart, just have to pull the trigger!

You're not kidding these are quick sales. This morning it's up to 198. I picked mine up last night... going to install in a few minutes.

I honestly don't think you can get a better battery, especially for the price.

They were rated #1 by CR - For what that's worth.

Same magazine that rated our Ram's the worst.

Irregardless,they are great batteries.

Yeah I waited too long too... $197. this afternoon. I'll keep an eye until next time. I just load checked my batteries and each checked out at 950 amps. I had them out and switched them each to the other side.

My buddy purchased Autozone Duralast AGM's for $130 ea awhile back. Only problem is they are 750 cca's.

Quick update after running the platinums for about a week. Awesome! I was experiencing slower cranking and longer start times with the old OEM's at 90k miles. The new batteries spin extremely fast and it fires almost immediately. Now I just have to figure out why she's puffing black smoke at cold startup... Maybe cause I dropped the cat, or smarty sr #3?

My dad's 06 does the same thing, and my 05 doesn't. No idea why.
