So it really is past time to replace the factory batteries….what should I go with? I thought this question was covered in here before, but I didn’t see it. Working with a ford power stroke, do I stick with the factory Motorcrafts or go over to Optima’s? or ???

Whatever I do, who has the best prices? I know I can get the stock MC’s in ELKO for a lot less than from Jones West…. Costco has good prices on the Optima’s especially with the $25 off until the end of the month…

Any advise from TRG ??
