Re: Battery relocation

Hey guys, thanks for the responses. I'll definetely look into the remote solenoid idea.

I looked under the truck last night. The ideal spot is between the frame and rear step. There's a space of 7" x 15" x 12"(give or take depending on bracing). It's just big enough for a battery. I beleive Optima makes a smaller than normal sized battery that would work well in that position.

OK, now which Optima battery would be better? The red top or yellow top? The red top is more of a direct replacement style, and the yellow top is a deep cycle battery. I really don't see a reason for a deep cycle battery on my truck as I don't have alot of electronics to operate.
