need a new battery
tried to jump the truck today, and found that the battery is completely dead, jumping it does nothing, will crank once and then stop.
any recommendations on a new batter? something cheap yet good. cant afford an optima or anything, something around $50 or so. |

I'd spend the extra $30 and get an AC Delco. The one in my 84 is 10 years old and still going. There must be a reason that several Japanese car companies use them...

Re: need a new battery
I bought mine from O'Reilly about a year and a half ago- it's never had a problem, always started. It was only like $40, and came with a lifetime warranty.
