[QUOTE="Firewalker, post: 8674594, member: 676743"] Dig that hole deeper? Well he is right in all honesty a owners manual doesn't really tell you squat about a vehicle. And as I said before doing a Big 3 upgrade and going to a bigger alternator & a battery in the rear is going to help stop some of the voltage drops even without a big bass hit as it will keep the battery at fully charged and with said bigger alternator it will put out more of a load overall. Also an alternator doesn't doesn't have squat to do with mileage, idk where you would come up with that but no just no, but hey what do I know I'm only ASE certified in multiple areas my dad was only a machinist for close to 40 some years and only been through several schools as well like him but w/e. AND yes optima batteries are complete garbage and vastly overpriced. One of the better batters out there shockingly is the Ever Start Plus Battery. And FYI people there is only 4-6 battery companies through the ENTIRE world! Everyone thinks that each battery name is owned separately and that is just not true. It is like buying a refurbished stuff in auto parts there is only iirc 4 companies that refurbish auto parts and what they do is just slap a different sticker on the box. The other difference is yes some have better quality parts put back into them and the length of the warranties and that is all. Trust me on this, between the mechanic stuff I did I was also parts manager at a few different big name auto parts and diesel truck parts companies and saw said factories myself. [/QUOTE]
