Plus, I think you can mount them in any position? (maybe). No maintenance. No fluids. Have posts as well so you can jump the losers

That's very good service. I replaced the original batteries in my '03 in 2012, and kept them around for shop use, as they were still good. I didn't want to push my luck, as I use the truck for traveling. I bought the replacements from the local Ram dealer.

Several weeks ago, they both died within several days of each other. How's that for consistency?

Today I got it back from the shop. New rear bilsteins, new sway bar links, new oil pressure sender, new orifice tube so the ac works like new. The truck drives better than new now!

Oh yeah, I changed the oil and air filters too.
