Default Autozone, Interstate, Sears, Odyssey, a few Optimas...
Costco also sells them.

That covers about 95% of what people here will get...when the OEM goes dead.

Default Autozone Duralast 48DL - also need a universal battery clamp (2001)
@$65 for the battery, $3 for the clamp since it is a bit shorter than stock. I just replaced mine.

Default I think it is hit or miss...best bet
just pick up a $3 universal clamp. If it is a direct fit, you can return it. If you need it, you don't need to make another trip.

Pasts posts indicated that it is a direct fit for some, obviously this is not the case (as my stock battery was longer than the replacement).
