I just bought a pair of group 31 NAPA batteries for my new M1009. They cost more than I wanted to pay ($75 each) but they were a perfect fit. While I was there, I asked them if they could get 6TLs and I got a "I don't think so" response. I didn't want to wait for them to order them anyway and I was tired of the poor fit of what you can get at wal Mart so I coughed up the $150 and put them in.
Are all NAPA stores suppose to be able to get 6TLs and who do they order them from? EXcide actually makes them don't they? What about that recent link about a better replacement that could be shipped UPS. Anybody tried them?
My M1009 had two group 31 batteries in it when I got it from GL. As many of you know, the CUCV battery tray is designed for either 6TL or group 31 batteries. I have often wondered what they shipped from GM with. Anyone in the service at the time remember what came in their brand new CUCV's? I would bet that for a full resto a group 31 AC/delco battery would be more correct.
