your right man...im sorry...thats the one i got.

OK.I thoughtIi missed one.I had bad luck with my RT in the truck....dunno.This Interstate is a monster .Had to modify the battery tray to get it to fit.

I havent had a problem yet with my RT.....even took it out and put it in the mini van for my trip to TX

could just be your bushings making noise, my springs groan a little first in the morning when its cold

Now in the SS I have 2 Optimas.A Red Top for starting up front and a Yellow Top in back for the stereo.No issues with them at all.

I just had the problem in the truck.Went through 2 batteries in a little over a month.
