My dad has a 6.5L Turbo Diesel in his '95 Chevy Crew Cab Dually. I just talked to him last night to find that he also replaced his batteries with the same one I had. Yes, I said batteries (2). So he has 2000CA and 1800 CCA. I would have not liked the throw down $130 for new batteries. He was lucky and ended up doing the same as I, free replacements.
I am not sure why.... but diesel engines require A LOT more CA than gas engines do.
