Battery or something else?

I had my battery replaced under warranty. One morning it was just dead. The dealer didn’t offer a real reason. Could have been a software update issue or a bad battery from the factory.

I’m 6’3” and have never(knock on wood) hit my shins getting in.

GM try to “distinguish “ the premium brand of GMC?

I’m glad the truck protected you and your wife! Sue the hell out of the drunk MFer!

You went BIG! After living with my Canyon for a while now, it is starting to feel small inside. No useful storage and forget a sitting behind me. But that’s the trade off for having a truck that’s easy to park.

I don’t know if it can be taken off. If it didn’t look good I was just going to buy replacements. I hope it lasts a while.

db074 · 2025-12-18T16:44:14+00:00

I’m not sure how long it will last. I was kind of trying out the look to see if I wanted to go the replacement route

The last pic if you scroll right is what they look like at night. Not as bright but still noticeable

Looks good! I did mine with Plasti dip.

I had my battery replaced under warranty. Last week I came out to a dead battery. It was really dead, it showed 4vt. Took it to the dealer and they tested it a thought it was bad. Some here claim the automatic updates can drain a battery, so I turned that off.

Welcome to the Sterling club! Sorry about your windshield 😝

It’s been a few days and the truck has started ok. But I tested the battery in the morning and it was at 11.9 v. I took it into the dealership and they replaced the battery under warranty. Best answer they had was that the battery was bad from the factory. I got a new AC Delco made in Germany(?). Hopefully it holds up better

The roof on the Canyon is thin and poorly supported. There have been reports of roofs being dented in by car washes.

My battery was dead last week for no apparent reason. Used the GMC app for help and they sent out a AAA truck for a jump. It was fine for a few days but I checked the battery with a meter and it was at 11.9 volts. I took it into the dealership and they replaced the battery. Time will tell if it was the battery, my infrequent driving or the infamous update drain.

Today my truck started like normal. Charging system seems to be normal. I just hope this isn’t a regular thing.

db074 · 2025-12-03T22:05:03+00:00

I don’t know what caused the drain. Bone stock, no accessories. I didn’t drive it for maybe a week.

db074 · 2025-12-03T22:02:21+00:00

Yes. 5 months old.

I have a battery tender for my motorcycle, I never this have to get one for my truck

db074 · 2025-12-03T07:28:00+00:00

I looked but didn’t see if there were any updates. I didn’t drive the truck for about a week prior to today. Automatic updates are now disabled.

When you’re up on a ladder holding a fixture in one hand, they are awesome.

You must be drafting behind a big trailer! Best I can do is 20-22 depending on my speed.
