The stock battery is crap! Buy an Optima and you won't have to worry about your truck starting :)

It's not dead. Everything else is lit up like a christmas tree. I load tested the battery and it showed 11 under load. When you turned the key, it did absolutely nothing. Not even a click.

Man that sucks. Air casts arent fun especially during summer. I know that when I got my truck a few days later it wouldnt turn on but it wasnt the battery the dealer had some sort of kill switch on the truck. So I had to get it towed back.

They can't be held responsible for my stupidity.

Oh no there are a lot of stupid things with our justice system. For instance, a car was hit by a drunk driver. Said car then hit my car. I'm getting sued for being in the way. You could get away with a lot of shit. It's cheaper for GM to settle than to fight in court.

Let me re-phrase...I couldn't possibly hold them responsible.

Both times it happened when running on accessory for a while. Not a long while mind you, and then just dead. Now I'm all leary of it and never sit with the car off and the radio on or whatever.

Spoke to the dealer yesterday. The were working on other issues with the truck, but now it starts without issue. The service advisor knows there is a problem as it wouldn't start coming off of the tow truck, but now it works. They will keep digging.

I'm starting to think this might have been a mistake.
