i dotn know abotu cranking amps. but the battery group size is 24F.
the trans fluid is TYPE F

If your trans. has never been overhauled use type"F" only. If the truck is all stock (no high amp. electrical draws) like mine I have a 800 cold cranking amp battery and it works fine. If you can afford it there are many options in batteries avaible.Where I live I pay more att. to hot cranking amps, as it rarely gets down to freezing but gets near 100 in summer.
