I have the 35/75 in my '99 and have no problems with it.
It's more cold crank than the orginal AC Delco and all you will need.

My Optima Red Top only lasted 2 years. Now I have a Excide Orbital from Sam's Club.

I wouldn't drive an exide if they paid me. A few years ago, they got caught by the feds selling rebuilts to Sears after labeling them as NEW Diehards.
