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!!

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!!!

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.

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!

Can't thank you enough for the turn the battery sideways hack! Saved me a ton of work in a cold driveway!

Did a little wrenching on my 2016 Silverado today and followed your instructions. Other than one cut finger, it was perfect! Thank you!

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 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

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!

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

Thanks for the video. That coolant tank is a pain. It was easier than replacing the air filter!

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

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

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.

Thank you it was so easy and fast specially when it was cold outside:)

Going through this now....glad I waited to find this video. Thanks for sharing!

Great tips....saved me at least an hour trying to figure out how extract the battery from its perch.

Excellent video! Got me through the repair in 30 minutes first time!!!

Thank you for taking the time and effort to record this video! It made the difficult job of changing out this battery MUCH easier!

Dude, thank you...this just made my life so much easier.

Great vid, was having problems for almost an hour, watched this and I got it to come right out. Gained a sub🤝

Bro, my sincerest gratefulness, something that seems easy but isn't, until this video. Thanks again so much!

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.

I have to change my battery and it makes me miss the older vehicles that don’t require all this extra work all you had to do was disconnect the terminals and lift the battery out but thanks for the video, watching this makes it an easier task

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

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.

Thank you so much man. Was told I would have to take it to the dealership shop to get it changed.

Great video! Thank you for making this. Saved me a lot time and frustration.

5 mins waiting for the video to get to where I needed it to be. Very informative

Wow, I was a little apprehensive about taking it out myself, but after watching your video...easy to do. Thank you very much

I only had to remove the busswork and connections. Taped up the pos post, flipped it sideways and it came right out. Thank you!!

Nice Video!!! Made me feel way more confident before I started.

Perfect!!! Thanks laying the battery on its side works great! Thanks so much for the video.

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!!!!

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. YOUR video was very helpful. NEGATIVE CLAMP WAS THE LAST THING TO BE CONNECTED.

Thanks Brother, awesome video. You made my job easy!!!

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 this made it super easy!!! But you should put a disclaimer that this only works with AMG batteries not acid types. Thanks for the help!

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

I'm glad I KZfaq'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👍🏼

Excellent tutorial. Swapped my battery today.

Nice work! Thanks for the video.

Appreciate the video! It was a big help!

Thanks for the video...real helpful and saved me a lot of time!

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.

Big Time Saver thanks for the video. I changed the battery in a 2018 1500.

I couldn’t get battery out, video was great help! Thanks!!

Extremely Helpfull!!! thanks!

Hey i appreciate this video so much it saved me alot of time!!! Thanks so much!

Thanks for the video! Helped so much! Your advice was spot on!🔧😎👍

This was extremely helpful & I think you said "guys" about 279 times!

Thanks. Saved me a bunch of frustration

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

bro you’re a life saver

Thanks for the walk through, very helpful 👍

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.

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 ?

Awesome Video! Thankyou

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.

Great video I found it very useful for me

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!!!

Been waiting a long time for a video that actually showed the battery getting pulled out

After I finally got my battery changed I celebrated by going back to this video and slamming a shot every time you said "guys". :)

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.

Thanks for the video!

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!

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!

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.

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.

Thannnnk you for telling me how to take the battery out without taking other containers out

thank you for posting this video. much appreciated!!!

Great video....thank you for sharing

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.

Great video saved a few steps like moving the coolant tank Thank You!

You video is very helpful thank you

This was so helpful

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

Thanks for this video.Cuold you show how change the fuse box?

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.

Thank You for the Video 🎉

Nice! And thank you sir

Thank you so much buddy 🤗🤗🤗 thanks to you was an easy task

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 your the man

Remote start stopped working after battery install also changed the battery in my fob n still won’t remote start any suggestions?

Thank You. I was so close to calling a mechanic because I didn’t want to damage anything.

Thanks for vid

What do you do to keep your engine bay so clean?

Tanks for your help 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Good video it was a great help from you sir knock it out in 20 minutes😀👍🏼

Thanks for the helpful video!

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?

Thank you so much!!I had hell the first time I did this.Wish me luck 😄😄😄👍👍👍

I need t o how to change out the battery tray not the battery can you go further into it

I changed my battery on my 2019 silverado 1500, now the dash says “power steering drive with care” is there a fix? It worked fine before the battery change

Hello I have a question for you I replaced my battery in my 2015 Sierra Denali And now my head lights aren’t coming On What do I need to look for Can you help me please Thank you

Just changed mine, as much as I hated to put my battery on its side, pretty much had to. Perfectly good 2nd battery holder on my truck but chev said, "No, put it on the other battery holder".

And what is the 3rd shaft with the round disc on it for..?

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..
