Yellow top in the truck and Red top in the T/A. Never had a problem in either and the yellow top is 6 years old.

I've had an redtop in my car for about 6 years.. It's starting to go south on me now.. If I don't drive the car once a week, it's usually dead or really close.. However, once I get it started it runs like a champ...

Just time for a new battery..

I had a Yellow Top in the V6 Firebird for 7 years. It was powering a retarded amount of amps in the car. Never had any problems.
