My 2.6 MV6 has a 71AH battery.

I believe the original GM spec was 68AH.

Don't I recall seeing something on here not too long ago that it's not so much the AH rating as the Cold Cranking Amps that matter or something like that?Or does my memory play me false?It wouldn't be the first time if it did!!!
