Per www.advanceauto.com ,

http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/webapp/wc...151_10051_-1___

You need 700 CCA ..

Group Size: 78
Voltage: 12V
Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) @ 0°F: 700
Cranking Amps @ 32°F: 875
Reserve Capacity (minutes): 120

Though it does specify that OE specs are 600 CCA

.. for these GM trucks, you need a Group 78 (that's the physical dimensions of the battery)

.. then buy the highest Cold Crank Amps (CCA) you can find in that size

.. try to find a 800 CCA... or more .... but at least a 700 CCA

Hi. Try to look on the Internet just to give you the idea of the battery. But it's more advisable if you could go to the market. At least, you can see it personally before you buy it.
