no it does not matter how you hooked it up. As long as positive went onto positive and negative onto negative.

Thanks for the info fellas.

 

Well, last night I attempted to reset the bcm by unhooking the battery for a while. I then touched the 2 terminals together before reconnecting the battery. No luck.

 

I dropped my truck off at the dealer this morn and explained everything to the service advisor. I went and picked it up and they said I had a bad connection. Not too descriptive. The tech and service advisor I was working with were already gone so no more info than that. I plan on calling tomorrow to find out a little more. $143 total for 1 hour of labor. Feel like I dodged a bullet. Thanks for all the help. And tx-at glad your truck is back to working right.

James did you ever find out what the issue was? I'm having a similar problem. I just replaced the battery and my radio and speakers cut in and out for a couple minutes after starting the truck, then it clears up. Tried BCM reset with no luck

I have a 2014 silverado, replaced the battery back in November, every few weeks the truck acts like the alternator is going bad and the power steering gets tight and the lights would dim as i turn the wheel.  Went to my local auto zone to test the system, truck was dead and the guy there looked at the block on top shook it a bit and everything returned to normal, some how the main bolt going to the alt was loose tightened it all down and now no more issues with anything.  Maybe its a loose connection from moving everything around.

I had the same issues as James when I replaced my battery.  After a closer inspection, I realized that I forgot to connect the plug that attaches to the distribution box on top of the battery.  Once I plugged that in, everything worked fine.  I’m guessing that might be the bad connection the dealership mechanic told him about.

So in Response to everyone’s input. I had a similar problem which was due to a shitty mechanic(myself) replaced my battery and the truck(2014 GMC Sierra) started right up. After a day of driving dash lights started to flicker, stabilitrack earning came on, etc. the next morning truck sputtered lights flickered and it barely started. Trouble shot it the next day. Turns out I had a bad connection because I didn’t tighten one of the nuts enough on the electric manifold(whatever the god dam name of that is). After driving for a day it must’ve shook loose and cause intermittent current aka a shitty connection. 
Check your connection people. Then have a beer

I had the same problem, brought it in and they wiggled the battery terminal connection, tightened it more, wiggled the connection, tightened it, and all the sudden the fan, radio, and blinkers turned on.

Had to replace my battery on a 2014 Silverado. After replacing it,it still wouldn’t start at all. After looking over all the cables I found the problem was that the positive cable was just loose enough to cause the issue. The T-bolt attachment on the positive lead wasn’t tightened all the way. Tightened it then the engine fired right up! Hope this helps someone else

      Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.

      I can't believe that could possibly be the case. It should be 36mo/100k miles from installation. Then again, it also seems like since a dealership installed it, it'd all be in the system and you wouldn't need to worry about registering, either. Shows you what I know. 😄 Hope this one outlives the warranty!
