This is a video taken a few years ago when my tahoe wouldn't start, the solution ended up being to replace the negative battery cable then the problem never happened again. A good test is to grab the negative battery cable and jerk it around, if the Tahoe starts after that you'll know you found the problem.

Just sharing this old video as an example of what the symptoms of a bad negative battery could look like, thinking of uploading all my old videos to be public on youtube to help people because there doesn't seem to be many gmt900 videos on youtube.
