I've had good luck with the AGM type battery. I think they sell them at Autozoo.

Yeah, they're pricey but in a diesel you want ALL the cranks you can get!

Do NOT buy a battery from CSK Auto. They're crap and their warranty isn't worth wiping your crack with.
p.s., Electrolyte condition is not a positive indication of a possible short between cells. It's good for an "over-all" condition gauge but the use of a load tester is the only sure way to detect the short.
