I bought two brand new Interstate batteries for my IDI two years ago. This winter, I have already had to jump this thing 6 times in 20 - 30 degree weather after the truck was sitting for 4 days. No parasitic draws, new starter, new monster gauge wiring. New alternator. I wonder if these batteries have just had it. I would expect 4-5 years out of batteries. Anyway, in anyone's else experience, do our trucks go through batteries faster?? I had heard or read that Caterpillar branded batteries are excellent. Anyone have an opinion on the best battery brand for our trucks? I don't care about paying extra $. I need my truck to be reliable. Thanks! -_Andy
