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

I just bought a group 78 800CCA for my Suburban from Advance auto parts. Its the Autocraft Gold with a 3 year free replacement warranty for 90 bucks.

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.
