Bravo! That battery setup scared the hell out of me. This video told me everything I needed to know, down to what sockets I needed. I called my father-in-law for moral support and had the battery in the driveway when he arrived to take me to the shop. I saved money and earned some father-in-law street credit. Thanks again.

I have a 2017 GMC sierra 1500 SLT. I had original equipment battery that went ba. The battery was replaced in 2023. I have never had a battery removal that was this extensive. What I don’t understand et is a blank battery plate to mount a battery that much easier to access on the drivers side.

Nice job installing this battery. The only things I would have done differently would be to clean under and around the battery tray location while the battery is out of the truck. Poor grounding has also been an issue with these trucks, so I would have taken care of any grounding connections in this general location while the battery was out as well. I'm a bit OCD to some degree when doing maintenance on my truck.

I did one today and could not pivot it to come out. I wound up having to remove the air box in order to get to the coolant reservoir and unbolt that too. Next time Ill try the pivot shown. Still only took me about 30 minutes but it was absurd. I was like 'theres no way they designed this for any other reason than to discourage the average joe from doing it himself'.
