Replacement Battery

Even when they're made by the same manufacturer they're still specifics their different customers require so they're not all created equal.

some yes, but many are on the same run. retooling takes time

I have had great luck with Duralast Gold batteries, and one lasted 8 years in our Tahoe.

I put a charger on them every couple of months, since most of our trips are short distances.

My dad taught me that around town driving is tough on batteries.

I asked because of your comments about AGM batteries. Your system is designed to charge them properly. The OPs truck is not optimized to charge them properly.

I currently work PT at O'Reilly's just for the discounts and pocket change. The 'Free Replacement" of a Battery is a true statement to an extent, yes you get a free battery in the event that your battery takes a crap (for example) in the 42 month warranty period.
However, your 42 month warranty DOES NOT start over! Your warranty is only applicable to the original purchase date.

So if you bought a 42 month battery on Jan 1, 2022 and it took a crap on Jan 1, 2025 then you get a 'Free Replacement' battery with a 6 month warranty!

O'Reilly's, AutoZone, NAPA, Advance all use the EXACT TERMS for Battery warranty. Yes some stores will try and work with you and your battery needs, but don't expect or demand it! I know that O'Reilly and Autozone don't Pro Rate batteries any more and stopped doing that about 5 yrs ago, as stated above you just get a new battery (free) with a greatly reduced warranty.

GM is the same on warranty wise

That's fair enough. Assuming a person got 3 years out of the first one it wouldn't take much time for the replacement to make him get his original money's worth. Anything more is unreasonable.
