Ralph,

I understand, but we stopped selling AC Delco batteries about 3 years ago due to the failure rate we were experiencing. This is after we kicked interstate to the curb after the same problem (mostly with the 65 group batteries in Ford products.) After doing much research, we are currently selling NAPA batteries being they are made by East Penn manufacturing using only new contents, not recycled lead ect. We have only had a few warranties in 3 years and we sell about 200 batteries a year. Just a quick question, did this issue when plowing just come up, or has it been since you had the plow? My 2005 K-2500 454 4L80E I purchased new has 2 batteries from the factory in the Snow Plow Prep package. Another thing to check is the Amp draw on the plow motor. It's tested the same as a starter. Let me know how you make out. Good luck.

Bill
