I currently have a diehard platinum agm with 880cca but it's been reading low at the top post with a side post issue reading extremely low. I don't mind spending the money for quality. My truck is currently in the shop so I'll have to wait until it's out to check the connections one last time. I'm done with Optima, been there done that. I'll check out Northstar. I just want something proven.
Where did you buy the wire and techflex?Used the leftover 1/0 gauge I had from my camaros battery relocation to do the big three. Used a stinger fuse box off the battery to be safe and wrapped it all in black nylon techflex because lime greens just too much for the Denali lol
So far haven't noticed too much of a difference, but apparently the people on gmfs have noticed a 1-2 mpg increase so I'll be on the watch for that.

Hate to quote myself but the Northstar battery looks identical to my diehard platinum. It's been a good battery other than one side basically going dead lol. I'm charging it with a DC power engineering 270a alternator yet it still reads low on CCA. Anyone using these or other AGM battery with any luck?
your phone is reading my mind, about to do those, and the valve cover gaskets.
So jealous lol lmaoDropped off my new HD hood to be painted...and installed a remote start!
Know how to run the silicone when redoing the knock sensors? So they won't get corroded with antifreeze.
no, but I'm interested!
Yes, something along those lines. Keeps the antifreeze from messing up your knock sensors. I highly recommend doing it. Very common issue with our trucks, or LS motors.
I get my wire at Knukonceptz and my Techflex at wirecare.com
It most likely is. Theres only three or four major battery brands in the US so all name brands and house brands will fall under those 3 or 4 companies. The only difference aside from looks is the grade of lead that is used. From everything I've heard, diehards one of the better brands out there. 880 cca is no slouch lol How old is your DieHard? Also theres always dual batteries if you really need more juice.
I've had the battery about 6-7 years. I don't know when it went back since I've had my big 3 setup the entire time. It still cranks fine as long as the top ground post is connected, but I had it tested and was only showing 660cca. The voltage on the alternator is good and nothing tells me the amperage output is not what it should be. It hits 14.8 at startup and drops to 14.3 hot..it s a stud lol.

I'd only buy one for my camaro since Its going towards more of a track car. They have ones that put out just as much or more cranking amps as our batteries at only 9lbs!
