[DML] Re: Optima Battery...you want fries with that?

["Dave Swingle" <swingle@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

A really handy cross-reference on the battery for those who get asked 
is "98 Chevy Suburban" (probably the same as a Chevy pickup too). 

It's a very common Group 78 side terminal battery, although many of 
the replacements (like the Optima) now have terminals on the top and 
side.
