Man they are great for the cold winters here in Dallas. Just kidding I have used them on my last 2 trucks and they were great. I am almost positive that I bought the red tops.

DM I think he bought them on Sunday.

Yeah, no we dont have Autozone anywhere - but I would have been open to the discount.

I did buy the Red Tops but havent installed them yet. I have a custom setup and am needing to replace my terminals and some cable lugs so its not quite as simple as changing out the batteries..

Red or yellow or one of each.
Can you run one of each or do you need to have both batteries the same. (Red or Yellow Top)
