Holy crap! I thought I'd be in and out for replacing my battery today, but nope! Had to become a mechanic first.
Who else thought about buying something else than a Chevy after replacing a battery
I did, theres already a silverado at home, but i used the video to do it at work, now i know why my coworkers hate trucks
Our old dodge journey you had to take off the tire and change it through the wheel well. Talk about stupid.
I'll take changing this battery over trying to change sparkplugs in a Ford any day. I'm not tall enough (had to stand on a stool), and not as strong as the man in the video, but at least I didn't need special tools. Thank goodness for videos like this.
I invented new curse words
Im in the market for a new truck and will be keeping this battery placement in mind ha
I just did this job yesterday. If you remove the vertical part of the cross brace assembly at its lower mount (the cross brace will come out as a "T" shape), you can get the battery in without messing with the coolant jug. Hope this helps. Great video and thanks for posting.
Thanks for the tip. I tried it, and after a little jiggling I was able to get it out that way too.
I wish I would have read this an hour ago 🤦🏻♂️
Exactly, removed vertical bar, easy to get battery in and out. 👍
Wow dude thanks that helped so much cause of my buts for the jug was way under my air filter and I couldn’t get to it with out having to take off my air filter . Thank god I didn’t
I did it this way also works. I also used a step stool to get better access and leverage to remove the battery
only an engineer would overly complicate something as simple as a battery replacement.
When you have to make a 10 minute video on how to replace a battery you know that the Chevy design engineers need to be kicked in the nuts.
you didn't even mention the cost of the new battery, CHA CHING $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Repeatedly kicked in the nuts!
@@SubtleHustle72 we all should get a turn at em
junk is what they are, did my dads and its a bitch. Also 2016 chevy 1500 74,000 miles and the tranny is coming out of it.
The sad part is there is a nice empty space in the front driver's side 🤦
Thanks for posting this. Hard to believe that back in the day, there was only a positive and negative terminal to disconnect.
Never thought you would have to use a video to put in a battery. very useful
Exactly, I love my newer truck, but still absolutely love any kind of maintenence on my old truck. Had to get a new battery around last christmas for it. Pulled the old battery and got the new one installed in all of 2 minutes, if that. It’s so stupid how you have to pull so much apart to simply change a battery now
My wifes truck battery was going and shes working 12 hour days. Getting to a mechanic wasn't happening, so the job was left to me. Your video was spot on and extremely helpful. If not for your video it would have taken me twice as long to replace her battery when it was very late and the sun was going down. Thank you so much for this video!!
+Mathew Kozel Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Awesome video! Helped me very much when I had to swap out my battery. When I turned on the vehicle afterward, the computer system instructed me to lower and raise the driver side window. Everything is working perfectly.
Hey guy this is a great lesson after what others made it sound like a daunting task you were clear and concise and right on point. I actually enjoyed it. Thanks a bunch
I am a 38 year old female and used your video to replace my late father’s truck battery for my mother. Sadly, truck still won’t turn. None the less, I am incredibly proud I was able to do this because it’s one of the hardest things I have ever done. I really appreciate your excellent video.
This video was incredibly helpful and spot on! Thank you for making it!
Great video. Just completed the job on a 15 Silverado. Would have gone nuts not knowing to move the coolant container. Thanks so much!
+Robert Tivey Thanks for watching!
Excellent instructions - thank you! Just replaced my battery yesterday using your video. That coolant reservoir bolt closer to the engine is a major PITA!
+Joe O'Connell Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Great video. Tilting up the overflow tank makes it so much easier to get the battery out. Thanks for making this video!
I always look for your video's, and when I can find them ,That's as far as I ever need to look,Witch is most of the time. Thank's!!
Greatvideo - clear and concise. Appreciate the tip about the ratcheting wrench. Thanks!
Thanks for making this video. I was able to get my factory battery swapped out for an Optima yellow top in no time. This video helped a lot.
+Terrance Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Thanks for the video! Saved me a lot of time in 7° weather!
Excellent video. Helped me change battery in 2016 Sierra. Took whole T bar out and still could not get battery out.This video is correct about moving coolant reservoir. Thanks you
Great detail, great video, great audio.. thank you...this video was well done and extremely helpful!
+Otto Man Thank you! We love empowering our customers and showing how to perform DIY auto repairs with our high-quality auto parts. 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Be aware, this video is over 9 minutes. It took me 15 minutes in my shop with all tools and materials on hand.
Thanks Chevy 3 different sized sockets, cooling system, battery system, structural crossmember and airbox to put hands on
+Brian Behle Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com
Great video, great comments. All very helpful. Made the job go quick and easy to replace the battery. Thanks!
This is a good video. I would note that some positive terminal power distribution mounts will look different on the 2017-2019 vehicles.
This was an outstanding video. Helped a lot. Who’d of thought you’d need a video to change a dang battery
+Chad Cameron Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com
Super helpful! Thanks for putting this out there.
This vid helped me big time changing the battery in my 2015 gmc sierra thank you!! However I did not need to move the coolant bottle. Just shimmy the battery around and you will get it in no problem.
Thank you so much for this video!!!! It helped me out a lot !!!
Thanks for the video. It was very helpful. I find it always helpful if I know what has to be done and in what the sequence is for this sort of job. You did a great job with that. I did find that it was easier for me to get the black box on top of the battery (junction box for the wires and maybe fuses or circuit breakers) out of the way by just removing the negative wires connected as well as the positive wire from the battery. It then would move up and over the support post for the structural crosspiece more easily. Also, getting the right (forward) screw out that holds down the coolant container was fairly easy with a knuckle joint (like a U-joint) on the end of an extension for the socket wrench to get the 10 mm screw out and back in. I did not have a ratcheting box wrench for this.
+Dave Redden Thanks for the feedback!
Great video, saved me a ton of time! Thank you
Very helpful thanks. Great video.
You should do a detail your truck next. You have a perfect truck for it.
Perfect step by step. Thanks!
Thanks. Great job on the video.
Great video. Just got done replacing mine... 33 mins. thank you

What a relief. I thought it was going to be a pain in the butt. Wow! Thanks for the video though.
Thanks just replaced my battery on my 2014 GMC Sierra step by step good work

Just did today not bad at all ... thanks for video. Under 20 minutes easy, probably 10 if I read comment below and not move coolant tank.
That box you moved off battery was taken off my truck and a fuse put in place. How do I get the cover the wires hooks up to
To make it easier to remove and replace the battery (if the battery has no handle) use a ratchet strap rigged around the center of the battery once it is disconnected from the holder tray. Circle the battery with the strap and tighten it. This will give you something to hold onto to take the battery in/out.
+spencer mcnamara Thanks for the tip!
Very helpful! Thank you.
+Brandon Jones Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
This was a good video thank you
Life saver thank you!
Great job 1A. If you have the time, could you do a write up on changing this battery on a e-assist Silverado 1500. There are high voltage wires over the 12V battery and you can't find instructions anywhere on changing it. Thanks!
is there a battery life monitor to be reset on a 2016 Silverado that requires a scan tool or scanner or is that just for newer models.
Very helpful. Thanks GM doesn't make it easy...
Very helpful.
Awesome,thanks for the video!
+Mike clark Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Do you have a video on how to replace the negative battery cable? It has 3 connection points. 2015 2500 6.0. Thanks
Saved me a lot of hassle watching this first, thank you!

Best video!!!! thanks
Just used this video as my "how to" and changed the battery in my 2018. Lost the time (no biggie) took a little while for the tpms to register tire pressures but Im having issues with "ghost touching" on the radio. Brings up the browse screen and changes the center display (in front of the steering wheel) from vehicle info to audio like Im working the radio on the steering wheel? Any suggestions? Google is coming up with most likely an HMI issue?
What's the most CCA you can have on a 2018?
I bought a new battery for my 15 Silverado opened the hood to put it in looked and said nope shut the hood then found this video thanks.
+lil c's Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com
The original GM battery on my 2017 suburban was missing the vent plug on the positive side. The new battery I purchased has the vent opening but does not have plug. Hasn’t been an issue. Why the vent plug??
This video really helped me. The screws for my water tank were much harder to get too, but this made it very easy for me. Thank you!
What’s that green connector in the back of the distribution block, that’s on top of the battery.
Thank you very much
The factory must remove the handle off of the battery. I just changed my battery in a 2017 and it didn't have the handle as well. The new battery had the handle and it didn't need to be removed because everything went back together just like it should
Just did this job in lovely 10 degree michigan weather because that's where she died. Thanks for the tip with the washer fuild reservoir! Good stuff. 👍
are you not suppose to keep a battery tender hooked up to positive cable, as to not lose all information on ECU
Removing the air filter housing is the best route to go. It takes literally 5 minutes more to take it off but then makes it easy to get to the mounting bolts for the coolant reservoir and then you can undo the positive connections and the fender brace keeping the vertical brace attached and just disconnecting wire harness clips to allow the bar to be completely removed then you have complete access to the battery and hold down. you also can slide the battery out where you can get hold of the attached handle or if you don't have a handle you could use a non conductive battery lifter to get the battery out of the bay. I think it took about the same amount of time for me to do this as it did to watch the video as they did it. I even had to stop and think if I forgot something because it went so smooth.
Here is the "HOW TO" I created after having done this task. Let me know what you think.
Tools and parts needed:
Battery - group 94R, H7-AGM or DLG for an OEM exact fit
5/16 in nut driver
10 mm socket with extensions 6”, 12”.
13 mm socket and extension 12”
Step stool, even for tall guys this helps for gaining leverage to lift the battery
Procedure:
1 - Using a 10 mm socket and extension disconnect the negative terminal.
2 - Using a 5/16 in nut driver unscrew the retaining screws for the top cover of the air cleaner.
3 - Using a 10 mm nut driver loosen the bolt retaining the front fender brace and move to access the air cleaner housing.
4 - Remove the air cleaner top and filter
5 - Disconnect the MAPS sensor on the air cleaner housing.
6 - Using a 5/16 in nut driver loosen the banding clamp for the air cleaner to the air duct to the engine and remove the upper housing. Remove the air filter
7 - Carefully pry up the lower air cleaner housing, this is held down with 2 grommet posts towards the engine and a clip that slides into place when you slip the housing into the air intake position.
8 - Remove the lower air cleaner housing
9 - Unbolt the 10 mm bolt and 10 mm nut holding the coolant reservoir in place, lift off the rear threaded post and slide forward allowing access to the battery.
10 - Unbolt the 2, 13 mm bolts holding the top cross member of the fender support and the lower 13 mm bolt of the vertical brace.
11 - Release the wire harness clip attachment to the vertical post and remove the brace.
12 - Using a 10 mm socket disconnect the positive terminal on the battery.
13 - Remove the cover for the positive buss bar and carefully pry the bus bar assembly housing off the top of the battery, try releasing the side closest to the fender first then lift it up and towards the engine bay to get it to release and set it out of the way.
14 - Unbolt the 13 mm bolt and remove the battery hold down block.
Slide the battery out away from the fire wall and lift out.
15 - Take time to clean up any debris in the holding area and the surrounding engine bay and any corrosion on the terminals.
16 - Install the new battery, be sure the terminals are on the fender side and the positive terminal is towards the front of the truck.
17 - Install the hold down bracket and tighten the bolt.
18 - Attach the positive buss bar assembly to the battery.
19 - Reinstall the fender brace with the vertical support and tighten the 3 bolts securely.
20 - Reattach the wire harness retaining clip.
21 - Replace the coolant bottle on the rear post and secure the 10 mm nut and the front 10 mm bolt tightly.
22 - Reinstall the lower air cleaner housing seat the grommet posts holding it in place.
23 - Reinstall the filter and replace the cover be sure to seat the housing completely inside the intake duct, secure the banding clamp, connect the MAPS sensor connector and secure the retaining screws for the top housing.
24 - Replace the front fender brace and the 10 mm bolt tighten securely.
25 - Connect the positive terminal and tighten carefully.
26 - Connect the negative terminal of the battery tighten carefully.
27 - Remove any tools and residual from the engine bay. and clean up area before proceeding to start the vehicle.
28 - Start vehicle and follow reset prompts.
29 - Navigation, radio presets and a few other programmable features may need to be reconfigured.
30 - Don't forget to recycle your old battery.
+@jimgriffin8179 Thanks for the feedback!
I just went mostly by your video on my 2015 Tahoe. Couple things... the coolant tank? Only the nut closest to battery needs to be removed, not both (and entire coolant tank). Also, you forgot to mention brace pad when removing old battery... only when installing new battery did you add that part.
Lesson learned for me: buy an ratchet extension... it's a headache using regular tools without extensions given how Chevrolet stuck the battery in such a tight spot. (That distribution box is its own joke. I guess it's good if you plan on having a massive stereo system in your Tahoe but useless for me.)
Anyways, thanks for the video and Go Hawks!
By the brace pad, do you mean the part he's talking about at 3:24?
He doesn't mention it directly, but mentions removing the 13mm bolt, and shows removing the clamp.
He then mentions it by name when replacing it at the end.
“Unfortunately somebody removed the handle” that would have been gm. Really unfortunate.
very helpfull! try doing this outside at 5 below ! cripes!
+@tracyzell4648 Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Always disconnect the ground cable first then you don't have to worry that you may short the positive cable to the frame. Always disconnect the ground cable first when removing a battery and always connect it last on the install.
+Bo Bro Thanks for the tip!
My first week at autozone I had to change one of these because the customer was stranded. It was my worst day every haha
+bardo Perez Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Gracias muchas gracias thanks very much
+Rey Araujo Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
A prime example of engineering the wrong way
+Axis Power Diesel Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Negative OFF first, negative ON last. On that tray over the battery, there is a fuse that will blow with just a tiny screw up. Don't risk it - negative on - the very last thing!
You don't have to remove the coolant reserve .. remove that other bar by the tie down and you can wiggle the battery in and out the H6 is way easier then the H7 but after a few it's simplish
+Elo Him Thanks for the tip!
What does the wires go to that is on top of batteryp
The OEM battery on my Silverado doesn't have the handle either. Must all be like that?
I'm lucky I didn't have to completely remove the coolant reservoir only one bolt. Still though for a chevy silverado, it doesn't need to be this unnecessarily complicated to remove a battery. Is it difficult, not really, just unnecessary. It took me all of 15 minutes to replace.
Must have been nice to do it in a warm garage. I’ll now attempt it at -30C in the driveway.
Thank you! Worse battery so far.
I just my new battery in and after starting the truck up, it asked me to lower and raise the driver's side window. I did that, then the truck shut off. I disconnected the negative terminal, waited a few seconds, tried again and the same thing happened.
Nice video, but good Lord, all that to swap a battery?
Found it easier to remove all connections on top of the battery. Remove the lower L brace and move out of the way. Then wiggle the battery out through there. Didn’t have to remove coolant reservoir This way.
+Omar Torres Thanks for the feedback!
Did it the same way, Omar.
I did loosen the coolant jug so it had some wiggle room, but avoided having to move it out of the way entirely.
And they wonder why mechanics hate engineers
My dumbass just tore the battery out with brute strength instead of taking out the coolant jug… but thanks for the video it helped out a ton!
It is way easier to do this if you just remove the airbox. Easier to unbolt the coolant tank, slide it to the side. And while you have that apart, install a new air filter.
I never did get that second nut of the coolant tank….
I just replaced it and now the radio, air conditioner and windows are not working. Any ideas of how I can solve this?
Same thing on my truck today. What fixed the problem?
just a footnote here... my MAIN battery died ( pass side back one i have 2 batteries in my truck) my truck is a 2014 silverado 2500 hd i called a few places to replace battery was told its was very expensive battery to replace... so im not that stupid... so i went online to watch many videos and noticed there were many different mounting setups... anyway my silverado had the half circle bracket on firewall to fender a different battery box on top of battery but came off truck okey no problems until i finished installed new battery... after patting myself on my back because i saved myself an arm and leg doing it myself i started the truck ... yes it started i said cool...but then the problem all my presets memory was lost no big deal ill just reset them right... wrong by disconnecting the battery it set off the anti thief security system in factory radio was asking to input code.. i had no code to input... so i had to go back to dealer... they asked for my vin number i gave them they looked it up in their computer got the code to reset radio it worked.. they billed me 125.00 for 15 minutes of work... i bitched but paid them but this was a business truck and i only like chevy trucks and was in the process's of buying 2 new silverado's plow trucks from this dealership needless to say i canceled the purchases from that dealership and would you believe the shop manager chased after me trying to refund my 125.00 dollars back.. and yes i took it back but still canceled the trucks purchases from them. ps i now know there is a tool to buy to keep this from happen but none of the videos i watched pointed this out. so next time i will still do it myself the right way.
Built like a Honda civic half to move everything to get the one thing
Took me about 30m. Thank you. What happens if the battery is a little bit smaller than the original?
Edit: it started up and runs fine. I replaced it with the duralast platinum battery from autozone.
This is sad that it’s this hard to remove a battery these days. They really don’t want you doing anything with your vehicle anymore. “Bring it to the dealership and they’ll get you a new one” 🙄.
Thanks for putting this video together. Was once a simple task... more GM engineering fuckery...
I was thinking great no more battery's getting stolen out of my truck.
Have to do this, not looking forward to it!
My 57 was tons easier.
After doing bits of work by myself, I feel quite bad for the service technicians at the dealership. Some of this stuff is ridiculous
Try to change the battery while is storming plus you late for work and you have to disassamble your truck firts just to replace the battery what a great design next time i will buy a ford
+Diego Canto Thanks for the feedback!
I had to replace mine yesterday. I've been around vehicles for over 40 years. That was the most work I ever put into, the most difficult time I ever had, replacing a battery. Stupidest fucking designed battery replacement I've ever seen.
And they say chevys are easy to work on
What a pain in the butt. I will fork over the money and take it to the dealership and let them do it.
My old 2002 Silverado Battery removal...5 mins tops....My 2015...I better TH-cam this before I fry the onboard computer.
Mine didnt have the handle to lift it
Something you dont want to do stranded..WHAT A PAIN!!!
I should watched this first
