Solid construction, performance, and best warranty in existance - even accepted one I had sitting in an '87 9k T w/ an inop trans for 18 months. When it was dead [didn't bother disconnecting batt leads, radio memory, clock, etc] and didn't respond well to a computer - controlled recharger, the store gave me a new one - free - although it was three years old by then.
They're in my '97 Aero and our '97 CSE. Starts great, even after three or four days below zero parked outside in a Wisconsin winter.
I'll be putting an Optima in our Suburban this fall before winter starts - oh, and NAPA sells the same battery under the NAPA 'orbital' name. Looks exactly the same, like an overgrown six pack, but it's black instead of red for the casing.
Note: the Optima web site doesn't show a match for the 9kT, but I have group 34/78 [universal] in both cars and they fit fine. 770 CCA, if you're looking for specs.
Good luck.
