Default Re: battery problem, AC Delco

my battery went at 35000 miles ...they replaced it for free, no pro-rating...

much cheaper then an Optima...!

and they gave me a free loaner for the day while they anal-ized the problem !!!

Thanks for info; I guess that I'll take the vehicle to dealership and try to get a new free battery. If they'll replace it with the same one, I'll probably buy a better battery some day soon - to make sure this wouldn't happen again. Well, at least now I really believe it's nothing else electrical, just most likely a crappy battery....

OK, so it turned out a bad battery - I took the truck to dealership today, they tested it "with Midtronics" and battery "failed with bad cell". New battery runs fine, all free of $$ charge... I'll have to lok which battery they installed, probably same model, according to service slip/workorder it is P/N 86-7YR, so another ACDelco.. I guess I'll eventually go ahead and buy Optima...

Why our sweet trucks come out of the factory with such a POS battery is a mystery to me.

Is a weak battery the reason for my headlights to dim when raising and lowering the windows?

Shoot there ain't a part on any non-exotic car out there that didn't come from the lowest bidder..
