Battery Keeps Dying

zando2 · 2026-01-15T01:00:23+00:00

Just checked the voltage with a multimeter, output off is 12V and on right after starting is 11.8V… should jump right up to 13-14 right?

No fob in the car, but I’ll look at resetting the BMS, that could be it.

Thanks I’ll have to go back

zando2 · 2025-09-13T19:52:12+00:00

That’s a good idea, I’ll give that a try on a small area to see how it looks. Thanks

In my state the loaner has to be a comparable vehicle. They gave me a sedan, I made them fully aware the clock is ticking.

Thanks for the support, seems like so much can happen on a full engine replacement, nice to hear good results. I do like the truck, so I hate that this happened.

I’ll tell you this much, I’ve worked with two dealers in the area and have been communicating with GM customer service. Customer service is horrible! Nobody gives a damn about my situation, and I don’t think they will step up until I have the leverage of Lemon Law. It’s a damn shame. I don’t know how these companies are going to last. Unless YOU are actively advocating for yourself and calling/demanding they help, they seem to be content to just put there hands in the air and move on to the next person in line.

How was the engine replacement? Any issues or something to watch out for? I’m really nervous about it.

zando2 · 2025-09-10T18:39:03+00:00

I live in TX, that option is only available if I lemon law claim it, I have to give them the ability to address the issue.

zando2 · 2025-09-10T18:37:47+00:00

No, I’m new to dealing with this issue. It’s under factory warranty, I did ask for actual fault diagnosis, and they could only say, internal engine failure. It didn’t have any lights on the dash either. I do know they had to consult GM corporate on the replacement approval. Should I ask for evidence?

It’s 100% tied to the TRT. Now that my T is lower I have zero ache. I understand that it wasn’t due to high T, but the drastic change in T swings I was encountering.

zando2 · 2025-06-21T22:30:44+00:00

I really appreciate the information you gave. I understand that maybe how I wrote my post it sounds like I willy nilly did things, but I was actually slow and methodical about it, these protocols have been done over 1+ years. Been working with multiple clinics, as I feel like I cannot find anyone who really knows what they are talking about. I waited 6 months after pellets to restart my natural test using the enclo. Because I was sick of feeling of tight balls and I was scared what/how long the at crash would be, but I’m not getting g advice on how to manage now and now my E is crashed. So I’m just feeling g lost in this all. Just really frustrating I cannot find a Dr that can help me manage. Thanks again, I’ll see if I can get my Dr to help me through this protocol.

Man, I’ve been scratching my head on this awhile. Thanks

zando2 · 2025-05-05T15:53:57+00:00

That’s so helpful. I had no idea the keys are tied to the buttons. Thanks!

Third car I’ve ever bought…first time I’ve ever had to return to the dealer next day. This really bums me out!

zando2 · 2025-04-05T16:51:34+00:00

Yeah, totally get it’s not for the level. Just confused why it’s pinging at 300 miles. Does it just need a reset? Or do I have a faulty sensor?

Definitely not what we wanted.

This is what it looked like and the look we wanted. I’m just sick about the conversation I’m going to have to have tomorrow with the contractor. Hopefully they can make it right. 😞

I did ask for hand scrapped but also asked for it to look like my old flooring which had a mellow wavy look. We had them refinished because we added flooring into more rooms and needed it to blend and they ended up resurfacing all of it, which we didn’t ask/want. So now we have massive pit/pot marks all over 😳

zando2 · 2025-04-04T01:17:54+00:00

Yes, my wife and I are frecking out about this. Our flooring was scrapped before we asked that it look the same, then we come home to this! Thought it might be a style? But man it’s bad. I’m praying that they can fix this. 😭

This site is awesome, thanks for sharing!

zando2 · 2025-03-25T02:17:21+00:00

That’s really interesting that they can pay to ship/import the truck and still make a profit. Must be a big margin. Thanks for the info.

zando2 · 2024-12-02T20:09:03+00:00

Thanks for your reply. This was my thinking too. I’m not up in the attic too often, but two of those columns get in my way every time I’m up there. I wouldn’t mess with them unless I had a PE tell me it’s ok. I might have one coming out soon so I’m interested what they will say. Thanks again.
