It's fixed, I drove home tonite from work, no dimming at all, and no drop, :) yah!! I also have a story to tell, check the off topic.

Does it only dim at idle, or when you are driving?

Most alternators charge at around 2000 rpm and up. When it spins slowly its not providing max output.

Oh ya it was 63.94 after they paid me 7 bucks for my old one.

Just got the maxx installed, the volt reading in the truck still drops? It was 1000cca at 32 degrees hows that kiki? As long as it stays over 12v i'll be fine right?

by GlassWolf » Thu Aug 25, 2005 8:19 am

900+CCA at 0 degrees :)

What's a good CCA rating? I now have 4G all around, and it still drops, so I will look at wal-mart and price them. I get a discount at auto zone so I'll look there too. If that batt's not at the zone whats a good CCA to look for?

Honestly for under the hood any good battery with a fair amount of CCA will work perfectly.

The Maxxx start batteries from Walmart seem to be a decent buy. They run from $58-$79... I think they are 5 year warranty...

Yea, half price, same performance (except not gell cell).

To be honest with you I'd go with an everstart maxx rather than a gell cell battery under the hood. It'll work just as well if not better.
