Battery Brand Suggestions...
bought the truck a year and a half ago and looks like original battery. maybe i'm wrong, but that would be pretty impressive to get 102k out of a motorcraft.... anyways the battery is on borrowed time and it's on it's last leg. any suggestions? was thinking about the walmart batteries, they've gotten some good reviews from consumer reports.

It used to be that the Sear DieHard was the best dollar value in the battery market but not sure anymore.
I replaced the battery in my Wife’s Ranger with a Red Top Optima almost three years ago and that truck spins so hard when starting.
My 03 Ranger’s battery (original battery) is getting weak, needs replacing too I will go with another Red Top Optima.
I think the new Red Tops are 800 CCA, that’s a lot for a 3.0 or 4.0L.

like i said w/ the optimas... the motorcraft battery that I have right now from 03 was made by a different company than the ones that they are selling now. Diehard was tops on of the consumer report reviews, but they didn't do they group size 59 for some reason. my friend has a optima for his wrx that he has had since 08 and he says you could leave the lights on for a like a week and the car would still start

When my original Motocraft battery died, I replaced it with a battery from Bulldog Battery. It's a local company that makes them. They come with a 5 year warranty, cost around $80 bucks. I've been buying from them for years and never had any problems. A similar amp rating Sears Diehard was about $125 bucks.

when my battery crapped out at about 40 k in my 07, the original battery, i just went to napa and picked up one, ten year warranty i think. i didnt read any good reviews on optimas, because i thought about buying one but i spent 100 bucks and i havent had any issues and this battery has been in for longer. just put 2 motorcraft batteries in the 350 tho

Me and my family have tried several brands of batteries and have found that the walmart brand works best and lasts the longest. Right now I have the Orig. batt in the truck, but have a wally world batt in my 51, We never have had a problem with them.
Every die hard, optima, etc we have had has died in 2-3 months.
