Had to replace mine for the first time this fall, my truck was built in Oct 2013 so ~7years. I got whatever they carried at PartsSource, I think it was ~$230 if I remember correctly.

First battery I've had to change so I don't how it compare to others in terms of ease but didn't think it was that bad. Took off the diagonal brace and the bar that goes down from it. I didn't touch the reservoir, I think I did need to roll the battery at some point.

I installed the H7 which I purchased from Advanced Auto Parts. The installation took me about a half hour from start to finish.

For those DIYers...I know join the club of those who have replaced the old flooded cell battery. I also believe the engineers at GM to be sadistic. I’ve never had to remove so much crap just to be a

In Florida, because of the intense heat, I’ll usually get right around 2 years, and when the battery decides to go, there is usually no warning. You’ll just walk outside to leave, and nothing.

  I wonder what I'm doing wrong whenever I hear people say they "don't even feel it back there" when towing 10k+ lbs. I could even feel my old 3,500lb travel trailer. Oh well.

  I just brought home a 2020 GMC 1500 Denali. She has 53K miles on her and I want to change out the fluids over the next few weeks. I see the diff covers don't have drain plugs. Any suggestions where I can pick up front and rear diff covers with drain plugs? Thanks, Bob

  Well, the dealership got the compressor and installed it. Air at the vents seems nice and cold as it should be. The service manager said the repair has a two year warranty and unlimited mileage. Hopefully I don't have to use it. The dealership i went to was one where I bought my 2014 half ton silverado. In 10 years and 168k miles on the truck anything I needed done and two small recalls they were always very good to me. Not a huge dealer either. I think they treat people well because they want you to come back. I have dealt with a different dealer that was too big to care about an individual. Just my two cents.
- Multigate Connector Difficult to Connect Fully
  
  By Another JR · Posted 3 hours ago
  
  Hi All, I operate my 2021 3500 SLT most of the time with the tailgate off and in a crate because I have a slide-in camper. However, at least once a year, I take the camper off and put the tailgate back on. Recently I installed the tailgate, but had a hard time getting the connector bail to swing to the fully latched position. The connector seems to fully seat, and everything works, but the bail doesn’t swing to fully latched position. It swings almost there but stops and I am afraid to push it any harder. Does anyone have any advice on cleaning or lubrication or anything else I should be doing? i know how to properly operate the connector. During the time the tailgate and connector are off, i have a double plastic bag over the truck connector secured with rubber bands to keep it clean, but it still had some dust in it this time when I blew it out with compressed air. I didn’t want to spray it with anything other than air without doing some research. Thanks.
