Default That's where I got mine. Took about 5 business days delivery to Texas.

Sears and Pep Boys did not carry the 34R...only the 34 or 35. The Sears guy did not believe me that a 34R existed or was correct for my car. He insisted that the 35 was the "R version of the 34."

Default I've had the same battery for ~5 years (stock), with an aftermarket stereo.

You may have something drawing power that shouldn't be.

Default Their computer tells them 35R. But most people on here have success with the 34R

Probably both could be made to fit, but I want to go with what is proven on this Forum...not the Sears computron.
