Finally had my M936 picked up.
$450.00 tow bill, for 47 miles.
(I still have not seen it)![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Batteries are completely DEAD.
My shop waited till this afternoon to call me.
And said had a charger, on them for two days.
I am a Interstate dealer. (200 miles away)
With a limited battery selection.
And don't have 4 of the same batteries.
The batteries in it are 4 Crappa #7256D. (same as 6TL)
Which list @ $247.90, on my account $180.00 EA. OUCH!!![Mad :x :x](https://www.steelsoldiers.com/images/smilies/icon_mad.gif)
My question for you experts, is this.
Which battery, and why?
Would you recommend, I replace them with?
(remember here in Alaska MINUS - 45-65 is common)
My Son lives in Anchorage.
And will pick up & deliver them, to the shop tomorrow.
Sams Club has red top Optima's for $139.00 ea..
Costco sells them for $116.00, but is out of them.
Walmarts quit carrying them??
Still all were cheaper, than my Interstates.
Just found out, Shucks "new" policy wont take a C/C by phone, anymore?
(the manager said they were now part of O'reily parts)
I hit the ceiling over this!!. As I have bought over $50,000 in parts from them.
And I sell/promote Shucks auto parts, in my store. (mabe not for long)
After 2 cups of coffee, & cigaretts.
I calmly left a NICE
message, for the regional maniger to call me ASAP. ![Soapbox :soapbox: :soapbox:](https://www.steelsoldiers.com/images/smilies/smiley-soapbox.gif)
![Rant Mode :rant: :rant:](https://www.steelsoldiers.com/images/smilies/smiley-rant-mode.gif)
I have read here, that some folks are using Group 31's & Group 24's.
But dont know if the M936 battery box, is the same size as the other trucks.
I use the MHD - 31 in my commercial trucks.
And they are longer, 3" narrower & 3" shorter.
And need to know if they would fit?
The Optima's, are a bit closer in size.
But never used them in a stiff truck, bouncing/sliding down our roads.![Driver :driver: :driver:](https://www.steelsoldiers.com/images/smilies/driver.gif)
I want to continue using the 4 battery set up.
Thanks, for any help or thoughts on this.![Rolling Eyes :roll: :roll:](https://www.steelsoldiers.com/images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif)
