You did a step differently than another video creator did; yours saved me about 6 to 10 minutes. And like others said, the tip of turning the battery on its side was golden.
Just changed the battery in my 2017 Silverado 1500 LT. It was VERY MUCH EASIER following your video. Wrench sizes, tips, etc. Mine had an extra bolt on connection and plug to the positive bus on top of the battery that came off the passenger side so had to disconnect those to relocate the positive bus. Disconnected and reconnected when done with no problems electrically anywhere. Thank you for the excellent tutorial - it is greatly appreciated!!
Your video was awesome. It took me a little longer because I had to take some breaks. I'm 80 and lost the partial use of my right arm and hand. Couldn't have done it without your video.
Thank you for the video. I’ve got to change the battery on my 2500 Silverado tomorrow morning. If it’s as easy as the video, I should have no problems. Thank you again.
Sunday morning. Got it all done. Starts like a freaking champ. Great video. Thank you again, big time!!!
Thanks so much for posting this video. I just changed out the battery on a 2015 Silverado. Simple and straight forward, it was a big help!
Thanks Topdog!
Can't thank you enough for the turn the battery sideways hack! Saved me a ton of work in a cold driveway!
Just a quick safety tip.. if you plan to turn it sideways to remove the battery it’s best to use the terminal covers that came with your new battery to avoid contacting both terminals with any metal in the area. Batteries have enough juice to weld and it can be very dangerous doing it this way.
This guy made me nervous watching the removal. The reservoir is 2 small bolts, can remove battery easily and replace it with a GROUP 48, smaller case same power.
Let alone, explosion potential, and sulfuric acid leakage..😬
If you connect a series of batteries together properly, you can actually burn a 1/8" rod successfully
Duct tape the positive
@@kelnap2294 I just did this about an hour ago, two 10mm bolts and the water res moves easily. I also did a 48 group too - XS Power 4800! I have a 1500 systems tho too.
Did a little wrenching on my 2016 Silverado today and followed your instructions. Other than one cut finger, it was perfect! Thank you!
It's not working doing mechanic work without a "casualty" lol cut finger/pinched finger/paper cut/scuffed arm/ etc etc lol
I learned to work on cars with a long sleeve and rubber gloves... lol
Was struggling to move the bus box(?) out of the way until I saw your video. And seeing you flipping it sideways made it much easier for me to get mine out too. Never would have thought of that. Thanks for lessening the struggle to get it out!
Just replaced mine today in my 2014 GMC SIERRA……your video made it very easy.
I did have to move my coolant tank out of the way but that was easy too
Thanks for posting
Thanks Chief! Glad it helped.
Thank you for taking the time and effort to record this video! It made the difficult job of changing out this battery MUCH easier!
Thanks chucklee!
You're awesome man I was able to change my battery in about 15 minutes from watching this video it was nice that you had all the tools ready so I didn't have to go searching to see which one fit when it comes to sockets
Thanks for the video and helpful tips! Installing this exact battery as we speak in my 2014 Sierra. Had much luck in my 2015 Silverado with AGM
Great vid, was having problems for almost an hour, watched this and I got it to come right out. Gained a sub🤝
Glad to hear Dakota! It can be a frustrating job without some help. Happy to hear the video helped.
Thanks for the video. That coolant tank is a pain. It was easier than replacing the air filter!
Excellent video! Got me through the repair in 30 minutes first time!!!
Going through this now....glad I waited to find this video. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you it was so easy and fast specially when it was cold outside:)
Appreciate it, and you're welcome! Nice to know the steps when's it cold out. Cheers, and please subscribe!
Great video! Thank you for making this. Saved me a lot time and frustration.
Mahalo, I was cussing my truck out as I looked at the wide open battery tray in the front drivers side and thinking I had to pull the coolant tank on the tray they used - you saved me lots of time and cussing. Note on my 2018 Denali I did have to remove 3 wires on that bussbar, they came from both sides of the battery and it left me no choice.
Couple of things, the positioning of the battery on the side before lifting out, made that a lot easier. Both out and in. You can just loosen the firewall screw and remove the other two, then you can just swing the bar out of the way. I watched a couple of videos on this procedure and yours had some really good tips.
Dude, thank you...this just made my life so much easier.
Glad to help brother, cheers! Glad you got it done.
Unfortunately I let mine go too long and by the time I got back from vacation it was totally dead wouldn’t hold a charge so obviously jumping it was out of the question too so I was on my own here I will say it was a little more of a pain than my old Silverado but watching this video definitely saved me time I never like removing g anything I don’t absolutely have to so after getting my tools together start to finish this probably took 20 minutes only took me one try to flip the old one over and yank it out and luckily the new one I got which is a higher performance battery was noticeably thinner than my old one so it went in pretty easily I appreciate the tips and the tool list no doubt that saved me a lot of time
Thanks Jeremey, glad this helped!
Great tips....saved me at least an hour trying to figure out how extract the battery from its perch.
Thank you so much!!!!!! You saved me $100.00 or more. I would of more than like been intimidated by just looking at it. With your help I was able to do the job myself. Thanks again!!!!
Appreciate the video! It was a big help!
Nice Video!!! Made me feel way more confident before I started.
I always say I am the least mechanically incline human male on the planet. Took me a couple hours and 2 trips to the store for tools I didn't have. I cut my arm wrangling the old battery out, but I got is swapped! Many thanks to this creator for the exact help I needed today.
Awesome, you're the man Chad! Nicely done.
So how do you like the new arm?😂
After I finally got my battery changed I celebrated by going back to this video and slamming a shot every time you said "guys". :)
Nicely done, thanks SnavenPoo!
Bro, my sincerest gratefulness, something that seems easy but isn't, until this video. Thanks again so much!
Hey i appreciate this video so much it saved me alot of time!!! Thanks so much!
Nice work! Thanks for the video.
Thanks James, appreciate the kind words. Please subscribe if you haven't already!
Thank you for this video. I watched several related videos on this topic, but yours was the most helpful. I replaced the battery in my wife's 2019 Suburban today and your hints and tips saved me a lot of time and frustration. Well done.
Thank you so much man. Was told I would have to take it to the dealership shop to get it changed.
Brother, thanks so much for posting that video. I had to change my battery this morning before going back to work tonight. Couldn't figure it out without removing a tank. Thumbs up to you sir.
5 mins waiting for the video to get to where I needed it to be. Very informative
Wow never knew how difficult it is to remove the battery. Thanks
Thanks for the video...real helpful and saved me a lot of time!
Read a lot of negative comments that people think since they did it a different way your method was wrong.... I don't understand people's logic sometimes 😅 Great video! It helped me change the battery in my 16 Silverado just fine. And I didn't have to remove my coolant tank either 🤯🤡 Thank you sir!
You are a gentleman and a scholar, thank you sir! Not sure why everyone lost their minds either. I replaced this battery 3 years ago and is still going strong. I think people like to just say stuff is "wrong."
I'm glad I UA-cam'd this before it turned into a 2hr job. These trucks look so intimidating to do the most minor tasks(*cough* replacing the intake filter *cough*) I'm glad after watching this video I avoided that headache👍🏼
Thank you!
Perfect!!! Thanks laying the battery on its side works great! Thanks so much for the video.
Yo I never thought about turning it sideways. Was hella easy. Even easier than you made it seem. Everybody saying that's not how it's done it's dumb. Thanks for the tip.
Thanks for the comment!
Thanks Brother, awesome video. You made my job easy!!!
Great to hear Ruben! Glad you enjoyed it and it helped. Hit me up with a subscribe if you haven't already.
Just subscribed to your channel. Once again thank you
Thanks for the bolt size . Was quick for me cause of that had it in and out in 5 minutes. Make sure your caps you get have been put on your old battery . With the housing its hard to strike both at once but it can be fatal or your neighbors thinking a home alone scene lol
This was extremely helpful & I think you said "guys" about 279 times!
Great video brother but take it from someone who has a 2017 1500 sierra and has messed with these batteries several times, just remove the coolant reservoir. You dont even need to remove the hoses connected to it. Just remove the two bolts that holt it in place and lift it up and lean it back out of the way. This eliminates the risk of damaging the reservoir when removing the battery and only takes a minute. Then just grab the battery handle and lift out. If your someone like me and can become impatient pretty easily at times, this is the way to go.
Take that clamp totally out instead of just loosening it will help a ton during instillation of the new battery. Just did this on my 2018 Sierra thanks for your help
I only had to remove the busswork and connections.
Taped up the pos post, flipped it sideways and it came right out.
Thank you!!
Thanks for the video! Helped so much! Your advice was spot on!🔧😎👍
Been waiting a long time for a video that actually showed the battery getting pulled out
Exactly, that's the hard part to figure out! Thanks for watching.
@@TheTruckGuy I think the battery says right on it not to turn it on its side so I was always afraid to do that. If you don't you can't get it out.
Exactly, I figure for 30 seconds won't do anything. Plus, as you point out, there's no way around it, so my guess is GM doesn't see a concern either. If it makes you feel better, mine is running strong since my change and my previous one was fine too. I'm guessing if you leave batteries on their side for an extended period of times, it's obviously probably going to damage them due to the cells, etc.
Awesome Video! Thankyou
Wow, I was a little apprehensive about taking it out myself, but after watching your video...easy to do. Thank you very much
You are a gentleman and a scholar, thanks Troy!
Had to change my battery today (I'm not a guy) and when you said "here's the really tough part - removing the battery" I'm like dude - challenge accepted - first time out first time in lol seriously though thanks for the video, couldn't have done it without it!!!
Women have tiny hands that can slither through tight spaces where men have huge hands that make jobs so much harder
I couldn’t get battery out, video was great help! Thanks!!
I’m sorry but that’s not how a battery is removed from the Silverado just remove the 2 10mm bolts that mounts the coolant reservoir move to the side grab the battery lift handle and remove it the way it was intended not flipping it to it’s side or stepping up on a ladder reaching your arm under the battery needed, takes 2 minutes to move the reservoir much easier 👍🏻
I'm not a fan of that method, more work. The battery is on its side for 10 seconds with this change, it's not consequential.
I couldn't believe it. The reservoir has hoses on it for a reason. Ratt, the bolts are 6mm with 10mm heads.
I’d never flip a battery on it’s side like that. The reservoir needs to be moved. This is a terrible design. Hopefully GM fixed it on newer models.
Great Video…. Big Help.!! I work on stuff all the time and that bar on top of battery was scaring me a little till I seen this video. Thanks 🙏
@B the most frustrating thing to me is that they still have all the room on the driver side,where the battery went on older Chevy trucks.
Thanks for the video!
bro you’re a life saver
Thank YOU. YOUR video was very helpful. NEGATIVE CLAMP WAS THE LAST THING TO BE CONNECTED.
Thanks Marco!
Extremely Helpfull!!! thanks!
Thank you!
Thanks. Saved me a bunch of frustration
Thanks for the walk through, very helpful 👍
Great video I found it very useful for me
Thannnnk you for telling me how to take the battery out without taking other containers out
Big Time Saver thanks for the video. I changed the battery in a 2018 1500.
Thanks Rick!
thank you for posting this video. much appreciated!!!
Excellent tutorial. Swapped my battery today.
Man what a pain! I was looking for my ball pean hammer to start bending some metal. Thanks for the video and tip … haha get it TIP. Well done.
Thanks I needed this video. I was about to disconnect all the wires to the bus bar, and thought, 'this is insane.' Hopped on youtube and the new battery install got so much easier with all your tips.
Same!! 😂
It's still insane. Who would make a truck that you have to drag the battery out sideways ?
Good video and very helpful, thanks for posting it. 👍
FYI, take it or leave it, just for technical info in case you’re curious:
AGM = Absorbent Glass Mat (electrolyte [battery acid] is absorbed essentially in fiber glass and placed between the lead plates, as opposed to classic “flooded” cells, where the electrolyte is free flooded in the battery), it’s not technically gel.
Also, “bus” is the electrical equivalent of a piping header for mechanical systems. Usually a copper (or good conductive metal) bar for electricity to flow through, in place of a pipe that air/water/hydraulic fluid flow through.
Great video saved a few steps like moving the coolant tank Thank You!
Thanks Spiro! Glad this helped out. I don't get why some videos insist you remove the coolant tank. Definitely not necessary.
This was so helpful
Thanks for this video.Cuold you show how change the fuse box?
Thanks your the man
I have question sir.. when I was changing my battery, I didn’t put the top back on the battery distribution block, and when I was tightening my negative I accidentally hit the wrench from my negative to one of the terminals on the side now the car won’t start at all or even try. Do you think I blew one of those fuses on the battery block? Was planning on checking it tonight but just thought I’d ask you as you seem to know what you’re doing! Thank you sir
Thank You for the Video 🎉
I couldn't figure out how to get the battery out, this video totally helped. I thought I was going to have to move other parts. 10 out of 10
your video totally saved us! Thank you! Question for you: we seem to have lost our OnStar and SiriusXM radio after we started it up. Everything else seems fine. OnStar is visible but not lit up on the screen and our SiriusXM is totally gone. Any ideas?
Take the positive and negative terminals off the battery, touch them together to discharge any remaining power and then hook everything back up. See if that solves your problem. If not check any fuses related to xm and onstar.
That absolutely worked! We are back in business! Thank you sooooo much!
Great video....thank you for sharing
Nice! And thank you sir
On marking the battery you do the month and the last number of the year so not the 2 and the 1 just the 1, if you can’t remember what decade it was there is a problem, not trying to be a duck but it helps a mechanic figure out how old a battery is and also helps with warranty coverage, a couple of years from now a mechanic won’t be able to tell if it’s 2021 or 2022 on this battery
Yeah, luckily I have a few other documentation points for this battery. I agree, that probably wasn't the best form. Please subscribe if you can.
Thanks for the helpful video!
Thanks Frank! Did you sub as well and watch any other videos?
@@TheTruckGuy just subbed but haven't watched other videos yet. But I did see some john deere vids that I will be checking out! I need to disable the reverse blade shut off on my tractor!
Thank you so much!!I had hell the first time I did this.Wish me luck 😄😄😄👍👍👍
Thanks Juan! Are you subscribed?
Excellent video Great to know the tricks of the trade I'm one mechanic to another like rotating the battery to get it in and out!
Hey guys so I have a 2016 Chevy Tahoe and attempted to run a sound system in my truck , but my amps keep shutting off when I pick up the bass , this battery has 3 other power wires running off of it can I be that I’m pulling to much power and need to add another battery ?
You video is very helpful thank you
Good video it was a great help from you sir knock it out in 20 minutes😀👍🏼
Never seen a battery change like that in my life and I have changed a few batteries
Thanks for vid
Thank you so much buddy 🤗🤗🤗 thanks to you was an easy task
What do you do to keep your engine bay so clean?
Played the drinking game and took a shot every time he said "guys".
One week later and I am still recovering.😁
Guys is definitely a northern thing, if he was south it would be "yall"
This video was one that helped greatly, maneuvering the battery was no joke, those twist ties we normally throw away, save them. They’re great to hold cables out of the way..
I changed the battery in my 2017 YUKON back in June ("22), had to do the same thing, spin the battery on it's side to get it out & back in. I just changed the battery in my 2009 Silverado in December ('22) & that battery is much easier to change out.
I had the bigger battery , so I did have to remove one bolt on the coolant tank and move it the side . Great idea though to flip the battery on its side 😉👍
Thanks brother!
I just bought a 2014 GMC Sierra 1500, never asked the dealer about if battery is the original, I hope it's not. I'll check it tomorrow.
This video was a huge help. I couldn’t get the coolant tank loosened up so this made all the difference!
Thanks Adam! Glad it helped.
Great job guys!! 🤣
Thank you for this video, if you don't mind, we are going to link your video on our channel so people who needs help with this task can get your exelente step-by-step instructions to do the same.
Remote start stopped working after battery install also changed the battery in my fob n still won’t remote start any suggestions?
Tanks for your help 👍👍👍👍👍👍
So... No system voltage support during the battery change? On some makes this would cause the windows and clock and radio station presets to be lost. Idle air mass memory as well.
Yeah, you're going to want to remove that other 'J' shaped vertical support bar too - you need that room. I also removed the flanged nut holding the rear facing side of the coolant reservoir for that extra half inch of maneuvering space. Both are easy to remove and reinstall if you know the 'tape trick' for holding the hardware onto the socket (or magnetic socket) ;-)
Good insight, thanks MrDDDEEEZZZ!
