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.
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!!
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.
@@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.
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.
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!!!
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.
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
I'm glad I CZcams'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👍🏼
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
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."
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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!!!!
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
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!
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!!!
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
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.
Alright so I Just did this with absolutely no experience for the first time and I was able to change this battery within ten minutes, thank you very much.
The video was good to watch for learning as I have a GMC with a dead battery. The one thing that was annoying was the volume of the music compared to your talking. Just a thought.
Any time you played music the volume was deafening as your volume in your vocal is so low that it needs to be turned up pretty high to hear you . Then when the music comes on it’s pretty loud .
You ain’t lying about turning the battery side ways to put it in i couldn’t get it to go the other way had I’d done this the first time would of saved me a lot of time thanks for the tip
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.
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.
Replace the original H7 “94” with an H6. Same width, can match or exceed the original 720cc and it’s 2 inches shorter. Fits perfectly into the channels on battery tray and once you tighten the hold down bushing you’re all set. You will never have to remove the coolant reservoir or vertical bracket when changing your battery. 22 year GM mechanic here @Dave Arbogast Buick GMC Troy Ohio. Work smarter not harder
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 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..
First time I did it on my dad's 2016 sierra it was. PiTA. Removed the coolant bottle. I've never had to do so much to swap out a battery before. I can see why people curse the auto engineers. Once you make routine maintenance a headache for the average joe it's a problem but you know they design all these new vehicles to not be worked on by the average joe. They want you to go to the dealer and pay the $250+ for a battery swap.
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 👍🏻
Pretty darn good except for volume up & down & top of your hat blocked camera ! There are other videos for this year but different tops (?) Mine is like this ! Thanks "Guy's "
5:48 and the main purpose of that bar is to make the average owner say, "i better take this into the dealership to change the battery." Typical person would open the hood and be able to change a battery, but if something else is in the way, then theyll scratch the idea and take it to the dealership. Same thing with headlight bulbs, u gota take the bumper, grill, splash sheilds in the wheel wells, sometimes front fenders, just to change the bulb. Instead of just designing it like how its worked forever. In the meeting when designing the vehicle, someone in there said, lets make the headlight bulbs very difficult to replace and most will bring it to the dealership, equals more money.
Wanted to change the battery in my 17 TAHOE . Looked under the hood and was like wtf . So started the process . First I needed a special battery, a “ AGM “ . Got it at COSCO. $ 189 bucks . Then I watched this video . Glad I did, took out a lot of confusion under the hood. Start to finish 25 minutes … one bit of advice if you have a step Stool available use it .. 12 inches makes a big difference. The vehicle is pretty high up. And at 6”1 I still needed it .. thanks !!
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.

If you connect a series of batteries together properly, you can actually burn a 1/8" rod successfully

Sunday morning. Got it all done. Starts like a freaking champ. Great video. Thank you again, big time!!!
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!

Awesome, you're the man Chad! Nicely done.
So how do you like the new arm?😂
Did a little wrenching on my 2016 Silverado today and followed your instructions. Other than one cut finger, it was perfect! Thank you!

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
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 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 ?
Thank You. I was so close to calling a mechanic because I didn’t want to damage anything.
You my friend is a genius. 😘😘
Thanks for the video. That coolant tank is a pain. It was easier than replacing the air filter!
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
Great tips....saved me at least an hour trying to figure out how extract the battery from its perch.
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.

For the intro? If so, I'll note that.
Any time you played music the volume was deafening as your volume in your vocal is so low that it needs to be turned up pretty high to hear you . Then when the music comes on it’s pretty loud .
Success my battery was a bit smaller than what I pulled out but the bus bard assembly fit correctly - took about 15 min

Replace the original H7 “94” with an H6.

Fits perfectly into the channels on battery tray and once you tighten the hold down bushing you’re all set.

Diesel guys out there just a head up if one battery no good u need to change both
Thanks for the video! Helped so much! Your advice was spot on!🔧😎👍
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.
Should be a drinking game for every time he says “guys”. 🤦🏼♂️
Thannnnk you for telling me how to take the battery out without taking other containers out
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.
Wow, I was a little apprehensive about taking it out myself, but after watching your video...easy to do. Thank you very much

Wanted to change the battery in my 17 TAHOE . Looked under the hood and was like wtf . So started the process . First I needed a special battery, a “ AGM “ . Got it at COSCO. $ 189 bucks . Then I watched this video . Glad I did, took out a lot of confusion under the hood. Start to finish 25 minutes … one bit of advice if you have a step Stool available use it .. 12 inches makes a big difference. The vehicle is pretty high up. And at 6”1 I still needed it .. thanks !!
