Time for new Batteries???

[Swany]

you really got your money out of those!!! 5 years with a diesel, that's great!

I've put 75000 miles on my current batteries in the past 3 years. Is it time or miles that make y'all recommend replacing them? Mine haven't shown any sign of age, but I never go a day without driving the truck, so they don't get an opportunity to discharge from lack of use.

Time and HEAT and COLD kill batteries more than mileage. If they have never gotten super hot, or super cold, then you should be bale to get 5 years out of them.

Arizona and texas ppl tend to only get 3 years.

Dont know about alaska folks.

Neither do I, but since my truck is running OEM batteries with a build date of 11/01, I will most definitely be replacing them this fall before it gets really cold.
