I just went out and tried to start mine and its dead. Still stock batteries so Im happy they lasted. but I just did a search and right now I am leaning toward cat batteries. I was wonder about the 31 battery size too.
Well the truck is doing great. its getting so much better milage than my last 6.0. I have put almost 600 miles on it since i got it and it has averaged 20 mpg on the highway and mid 18s around town. I havent had time to wax it and clean it up really good but here is a pic just after i got it home.
This coming Friday I will be picking up a 06 F350 with low miles. I've missed my old super duty too much since I sold it. My company was paying for the GMC and I just resigned so they are taking it back. I'm just glad i didn't buy it for my self. Any way I will be posting some pictures...

Well I hated to do it but after 3 years and 107k miles I sold her to carmax. After 4 visits to the dealer with problems in the last 10k miles and it still didn't get fixed It was time to get rid of it. It got so bad I couldn't tow a empty trailer. 3 dealers couldn't figure out what the problem...
