I dont really understand these batteries. My wife's 2011 acaida still has original battery in it. Almot 9 years old. My 15 Sierra battery barley made it little over 4 years...dead.

I'm pretty sure it has to do with these new fuel saving alternators in these trucks only keeping it barely charged enough to start the truck. Over a few years that can lead to premature failure of the battery. My first one died in 12 months and the second died in 3 years.

Heat will hurt a battery as well but the reason most see issues in the cold is because of the extra CCA's it takes to turn the engine over when it is cold due to the thicker oil and electrical draw fr

Absolutely Normal! I live in extreme heat too. GMT 900's faired slightly better but K2's are almost exactly 12-14-16 months nothing after. Record your date when you bought LOG it and when you get t

You may want to upgrade to Optima or something similar then, otherwise it could happen again in that heat.

  I still saw people out for runs, on their bikes/motorcylces, jeeps with the doors off driving around here the past 2 days. I guess we are just used to it here haha. Tasted like a bonfire the last 2 days.

  The TCM has to be flashed before it can drive. If you installed it the way it is, it has the OS (operating system/program) from the 2010 truck you got it from. That will not match with the VIN/OS pair that your 2013 truck has. You can do the full install. Then tow it to a dealership and they can flash the trucks PCM/TCM with the latest program for your VIN.

  have a 2013 sierra Denali. The motor let go and the trans was getting there as well. I just bought another l9h with a 6l80 already together but out a 2010 sierra Denali. Am I plug and play and drop in and bolt up no ecu change or tuning? Does the tranny have different programming is it just gonna go into limp mode? I hope the motor will directly bolt in at least I’m hoping anyway. Please help I’m no gm technician
