I looked that that model doesn't bring up anything. There is no magic to finding a battery. Just go to local AutoZone/Oriellys and ask them for replacement. Enjoy! And for what it's worth I go to Walmart for their batteries; they use the battery as the warranty; dont have to prove ownership or keep track of stupid receipts.

I'm pretty sure the 90 is for the dry sump. You need group 85. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

That's what do. They install it for me, and back up the warranty if necessary with no lip.

And they have a military discount.

No reason to go with a stock battery. Buy one with the most cold cranking amps in the right battery group.

I went ahead with stock battery but got the optional Delco one with 650 CCA instead of the 590 that the original 6 yr. AC/Delco battery came with which was over 12 years old when I finally replaced it a few weeks ago.

The '05 is different because the + and - terminals are reversed. My '07 uses a group 90 and I believe the '06 is the same. Any battery catalog, like at Walmart or a parts store will give you the proper group number (size).
