I second this motion. Costco batteries have lasted me 3 years so farCostco batteries are pretty cheap and they have a good warranty. I have never had a problem with mine.
What is everybodys thoughts or opinions on which brand battery to use in your CUCV? I live in NW Pa. so it is either hot or cold 6 months out of the year. and is there any problem with using two different brands or CCA for the front and back battery?

I read all of this and I find it interesting that everyone seems to get AWAY from the Interstate 6TL's - mainly listing cost as the reason
AND NONE OF YOU seem to get more than two or three years.
I just replaced all six of my 6TL's in my three CUCV's last year - four of the six had lasted MORE than six years - two of those I USED for four years and they were used when I got the truck.
I find that you can ABUSE the 6TL - draining it, boiling it, doing almost EVERYTHING to it and it will revive if it's at all possible
You can't say that about ANY of the batteries you folks are talking about
and because I bought six of them, I paid $105 each. Regular price was $135.
While they are NOT cheap, they ARE correct for the vehicle and in my mind (and the military) they are the BEST battery for these trucks - not the BEST VALUE battery for these trucks
sorry, I got ZERO NEED to go out to either of my CUCV's and find a dead or worn out battery
yes, I have the milspec battery tenders as well...
there IS a reason the military chose the 6TL's - THEY WORK BEST
