2024 GMC Sierra 2500 HD Duramax (L5P) Battery Tray Modification to Allow MIDI Fuse Replacement
If you blow a MIDI fuse on the battery tray, GM expects you to buy a complete new tray for $150 instead of simply replacing a $5 fuse. In this video, I share how I modified my old tray so the MIDI fuses are now replaceable.

Great video by the way!
Would any of those large fuses breaking leave the truck completely powerless? I have a new sierra in the driveway and nothing works. No lights, locks, even the key fob. Yesterday I made an appointment at the dealership because all the sudden my screen wasn't working. It would only work for the back up cam and it was only one of the 2 cameras working. Then this morning I go out to the truck and I couldn't even unlock the doors without using the old style turn key. My plan now is to have it put on a flatbed (I can't even get it into neutral) and brought to the dealership Monday. It's driving me crazy wondering what's wrong. I tried to jump it also..... nothing 😭.
I don't know about all fuses. I would check each one and possibly jump a blown fuse (maybe with an inline fuse in jumper wire)? With the fuse that I blew, I did not notice what functionality was lost in the 15-20 miles that I drove until the new unit came in.
Thanks for sharing your mistakes on the install.
you had the truck way to foward. move your lift to the front of the truck more and you will balance way better
You must have watched one video and replied to another. There is no truck involved and the car involved was absolutely perfectly centered and balanced.
Dang I gotta paint my pod well done.
I place wooden cribbing beneath mine so even a hydraulic failure wouldn't matter. Cribbing is absurdly handy so every few years I buy a 6x6 and some 4x4s then cut to ~18" for general use. Wood doesn't crush or slip.
Is it even worth disconnecting the battery? Is this just one of those Cover Your Ass instructions for purposes of liability that the install calls for? Whats the probability/likelihood of actually detonating an airbag?
I agree that it is CYA.... It is definitely overkill just to plug in the iDash. However, with taking off the A pillar trim and exposing the airbag and wiring it is a quick safety precaution. That is unless you are an idiot (like me) and remove the battery tray cover first and then ground out an active fuse by accident.
@edmamon4655 so if you had to do it again you'd leave the cover on, remove the hold down, then remove the - terminal connection
Agree the primary install was missed, but the Banks install walk through that has a QR code on the manual in the box is very detailed. I just used it to install on my 2500HD as well. I really appreciate the "lessons learned" about contacting that fuse on the battery, it would have been easy to do if I wasn't more diligent.
Thanks for this video. I havn’t found this detail of a video tackling the problem to get higher power to the RV from the 2500HD. Much appreciated!
I am glad that you found it useful. If your RV has a solar panel be aware of the issue of the solar charge controller causing your truck to disable the trailer brake. I had this problem going through the Smokey Mountains on a 4 degree decline. I can point you to 2 TSBs to get it resolved.
it seems that bendpak is the only brand that only has 3 lock stops. the rest have 6 or 7. sadly I won't know what I need unless I try it and noone has a showroom or a 1 month trial 😀
Can you leave the link for the sensor adapter pls?
You wanna come fix mine haha
What a waste of time, you completely didn't show the install
Good video , i have the exact problem , but it was only the driver siderear cable that has to be replace... again it was a good video
Where did you buy the printed manual?
You completely skipped the install. What did you have to drill with the step bit, how did the wire get run down??
Why is this not under warranty
You never said why you were doing this. My new truck batteries died and I have a 15 amp micro fuse on top of my assembly.
After the batteries died, I recharged them with a 3 hour drive. The reset for the 2024 Duramax was painful. It’s all working , but my head lights are blinking
The first 3 minutes explain why I was doing it as clearly as I can. I did not inquire about warranty as it was my action (slip) that blew the fuse.
@@edmamon4655 Where you getting any check engine lights or any codes? Asking because I just did the same thing
@@patrickcouvillion5245 I don't recall any error message. Again, might depend on which fuse you had blow.
I have the same it's going on 13 years & still going strong
What the dog doing?

Hi friend, question for you. Have you found any vehicles that were not able to work with the mounting arms. Reason I ask is because I have a big range of vehicles by size (tiny bmw z4, c6 corvette, several hummers, and a humvee). My concern is that I will find a limitation with where the arms on this can reach the jacking points on the vehicles. It does seem more versatile than the ram style ones where you add a block under the jack points but Ive love to hear if you came across any vehicles personally that didn't work. Cheers!
I think that each of the vehicles listed will require special handling. On the small side, I suspec that the Z4 and C6 will not have the clearance to drive over the lift without damage. I keep 16' long (I think) 2" x 12" boards to place under low profile cars. I have had to use them on Honda Civics/Accords, Mustangs, etc.. I never used it to a locking point on my 2008 GMC Yukon XL Denali. The Denali was right at its max weight of 6,000 lbs and I did not feel the arms would reach out far enough based on the 220" length of the vehicle. For the XL and a Tundra Crew Cab, I simply lifted enough to get all 4 tires up and then put jack stands under the lift sides for safety locks. I would think that any Hummer (except the baby) would be too heavy... It is not good for exhaust or transmission work as the center of the vehicle underside is fairly obstructed. Now if you have normal height sedans, CUVs, small SUVs (Explorer, Envoy) it is perfect....
@@edmamon4655 thanks brother that’s really helpful info.
That’s my dream, need more headroom to deal with stubborn rusted nuts & bolts, besides getting to old to creep under. Thanks for the informative video, even though it was a year ago.😊
Glad it helped. It is not as nice as walking under a 2 post lift but as you said, it is better than laying on cold concrete. My lift has paid for itself at least 5X over since I have had it...
The instructions for installation state a thermal disconnect switch for the motor must be installed by the owner. Other than the 25 amp breaker, did you install a thermal disconnect and if so, where is it? Secondly, you said that you've lifted many different types of vehicles. Have you lifted an older VW beetle (like a 68) and if so, where did you place the front lift arms/pads so that you did not crush or damage the pans and frame? Thanks.
I have had my unit for more than 13 years. There was no requirement for a thermal disconnect, nor do I have one. I have never lifted any VW brand vehicle. Mercedes and BMW yes....
@@edmamon4655Ok thanks. They must've added the requirement later.
About the amperage. It says on the motor it draws 14.5-14.8A on 110volt. Always go with the 80% max output for the breaker, 20 amps breaker max is 16 amps. That’s why you need a 20 amps and not a 15 amps breaker. Hope this helps.
Save yourself the hassle on oil changes, take her car to a reputable oil shop. You might spend $15 more, but you won’t have to get under the car or dispose of oil. It’s really not worth doing oil changes yourself IMO.
Unless it’s a collector car or something special, then I’d understand.
Nick, to each is own. I am happiest in the garage unless I am dealing with an unforeseen failure, that needs to be addressed immediately. Personally, I am not comfortable with trusting a local shop to cross-thread, over torque and use whatever filter they can buy the cheapest. Also, I know how much oil was collected (is it using oil? how much?) and I can inspect for any signs of concern such as metal particles or milkiness......
Well on a car , you don’t just change oils… there’s tons of things to do. Don’t forget most Americans has 2 cars, throw in friends and families … In canada , you need to do oil changes and tire changes (mounted on rims). So you save quite a lot of money if you are a family of like 4-5 cars. Also, at least I know what filter and oil is being used.
Sump bolt torqued, filter inspected for metal, exactly the right oil and filter used including fill level. Oil shops just don’t, they can’t afford or charge labour for my standards of maintenance.
How did you get the idler pulley off
To be honest, I do not recall exactly. Once you are 100% certain that it is SUPPOSED to come off once the bolt is removed, your approach becomes less gentle. I suspect that I alternated between tapping the outer edges of the faces with soemthing heavy (breaker bar maybe) and gentle prying from behind.
So glad I found your channel as this is the point where I am ‘at home’. I too have a ‘mid-rise’ lift for a smaller (lower ceiling)garage that I haven’t put in to service just yet. Here in Canada we have some awefully cold winters and since I don’t make money in the shop as yet, it wouldn’t be feasible to have it heated all winter as I would like to. I to am awaiting the new big(full size triple bay) garage a little bit further back in the yard. I blessed with a ‘very large’ 😉 country lot already…just gotta put the scratch together to get that done. Debating steel building or perhaps a pole barn? Either way I’ll need at least a 6”-8” concrete floor as I’ll put in one 10,000lb lift and want to be able to get a heavier one if necessary. 12,000lb to 14,000lb for service/welding truck or one of my monster trucks…they tend to get a bit heavy. Keep the videos coming…I would also like to see what there is out there for the latest diagnostic tools. Thanks.
Great detail. The only suggestion for future projects is to not have music playing in the background while working on the vehicle.
Update 8 days later. At this point the truck has had 7 ignition cycles without a Service Suspension System message. Calling that a fix...
wondering the distance the wheels roll from the lowest position to the full hight position? i see you have plates under the wheels how long are the plates ?
Sorry for the delay. I had to both move the truck that parks over it (not a daily) and then raise the lift to answer your question. Based on wear marks of the steel plates under my wheels I would estimate 18".
Thank you for this mid lift tutorial !!!
Great video. I'm in the market for one and this was very helpful. Thank you.
Would it make sense to put a tarp/cover when not in use?
It all depends on your set up.... how often would something be parked over it? do you live in a snow/salt area? what is the clearance of the vehicle that would be parked over it daily? We normally park our Yukon XL over it and it may be parked there for 10-14 days. The Yukon XL has plenty of width and clearance that a tight tarp would not be an issue. However, if the Yukon is out... a Buick Lacrosse may be parked over it. In the case of a normal sedan/coupe the clearance is minimal and you would not want to get snagged on a loose tarp. I would only put a tarp over it if custom made with snaps or elastic sides so that there is no loose material for the undercarriage to snag on driving over..... I hope that helps. Ed
@@edmamon4655 I was was thinking custom, like you you described. Good point on snags if not tied down tightly. Thanks for your explanation.
Also you would want to be awefully careful to park a hot catalytic converter over top as it may just melt a tarp in that area despite the cat guard/heat shield.
I've got the quickjack right now and don't like the degrees of freedom, how they can be out if plane, not parallel, etc. I've been eyeing this lift because it addresses that, seems like a solid choice light duty home use, tire changes, detailing, hitch install. Thanks for the review
Ed just a kind of a helpful hint for you, mobile one is NOT a full synthetic, it is a group 3 synthetic blended oil legally allowed to be called a full synthetic. Only group 4/5 is considered a full 100% man made full synthetic that comes out of a laboratory. I.e. . Red line or amsoil / royal purple! Hope this helps. 🇨🇦
I was a little bit worried about buying online but I bought the autel MP808 which is the same scanner as yours. And contrary to what people said if you buy from Amazon you still get the year warranty, that's directly from autel. And I got 2 years free updates so I was happy.
im glad i found your video cause i was looking at this scanner but if they treated you like this ,then i can expect the same treatment... so they wont get my dollars
Just curious why you didn't just buy four smaller diameter tires for about $600? I have the same trailer but single axle, problem solved and alot less work.
A smaller diameter tire would come with a reduced load rating and also increase bearing spin rate should the trailer ever exceed the posted speed limit.... Not that it ever has... Also, I discovered the problem after my 5 new OE size Goodyear trailer tires were delivered and I had an appointment 15 min later to have them mounted.
Never under size a tire for any reason.
Great video. Where did you get your oil catch tank?
Auto Zone... price has gone up significantly... I paid $80 www.autozone.com/shop-and-garage-tools/professional-drain-pan/p/oemtools-9gal-upright-portable-oil-drain/908386_0_0
I’m curious about that too. I see there is a reply but there is nothing there. Anyone else run into that?
Is the battery removable/replaceable
It does not have a quick release battery. The unit would need to be dis-assembled.
Regarding key programming, I believe Autel has adjusted their marketing and only claims that the MK/MS series of tools only covers Asian low security systems. For European/US systems, you'll need to use the IM series of tools. Same with TPMS. You have to use the TS series. I have a TS-501, and that even works on the notorious finicky Range Rover L322 2006-2011.
After an additional 600 miles of towing the boat, the Denali 6.2L (does not have oil cooler) is topping out at 240 degrees for engine oil temperature.
Was the unit sent to you or a purchase
I think that I mentioned in the video that I purchased it online from Walmart.com
My mistake Ed
Can it test starter circuit!! Great explanation!!!
Without pulling it out and investing time I expect it would show status of start commands. In other words, you should be able to monitor if the ECM sees the start request from the switch. Naturally, you would need a meter to see if voltage is actually present.
I know where the boat place is. I live in Bolingbrook over by IKEA. I also have the 906BT.
Your one of those people in the know who gladly supports human experimentation and torture.
I've got the same lift, not gonna lie I've had multiple 3/4 ton diesels on it. Set it down on the locks and don't ever get underneath it. It's been a beast of a lift. Had mine probably 10 years also. I've retired it since I got my 2 post but keep it around cause it is handy for certain things.
One of the nicest things that you would never think of is detailing a car. Set a sedan on the 42" stop, pull up the wheeled stool and the process of clay bar, wax and polish gets half way to enjoyable....
Toss wooden blocks underneath and you can safely work underneath because wood doesn't crush. That's why first responders use it. I drill the larger pieces for a pull rope aircraft chock style.
