I'm not saying your guy isn't knowledgeable, but the alternator is controlled by the ecm, not a voltage regulator. JFYI
Everything but a working OTA update!
Yes that is what he said. He couldn’t tell me if it was an ecm issue or alternator issue and that’s something a mechanic would have to determine. He was able to eliminate draw and potential of a bad battery. He is very knowledgeable with electrical in vehicles.
‘23 Sierra AT4 (LZO). $379 plus tax/install at the dealer.
For that price I would go for an Optima Yellow Top. I'm pretty sure a DH7 would fit and give you at least 5+ years of service.
The babymax uses a H8 agm battery. Maybe agm batteries are more?
I’m glad for you that’s all it was. I hope I can figure mine out. Until then I will just have to keep having to trickle charging it every night in my garage…..
I had this same problem about three months ago, first I went the route of getting a new battery. 3 days later it was dead. Took it to dealer and after running tests they said if it’s going to sit more then a week put on a charger. So I knew that still was not right. Then I talked to a guy at work and he said make sure keys are out of it because if not the computer will sit and think someone is going to try and start it so it drains the battery that way. Sounds weird but I did that and has not been dead sense.
Thats interesting; I'm going to check the ambient draw with and without the key being in it although I never leave the key in there,
This is true. The fob excites the ecm to make sure things are ready to start meaning the truck is awake and waiting.
Is there any such gadget that would work on a spouse?
Haha. I placed 48 key fobs strategically all throughout my house and unfortunately it does not work the same on a spouse as it does a truck....
