    Miss the days when it was 2 bolts and the battery was removed 😀. Thx for the detailed review on this

      It's been a while since the old days of changing out a battery, until this, I didn't realize the manufacturers could make it so difficult lol.

      So totally agree, practically need an engineering degree. Good thing I have one😁. I guess me, you tube and whole bunch of sockets will be trying to do this later today.

    Thanks so much for this. The battery died at work, and I couldn't get it jumped so I went and got a new battery and as all the guys at work watched I put it in like it was my job, with all the right tools and no hesitation. I'm a 57 year old woman. :-) I saved myself some money and am proud of what I did.

    Great video. It actually took me longer to watch the video than it did to change my battery! Thanks to those rocket scientists at General Motors who never miss an opportunity to make a simple procedure complex. I will sleep better knowing my battery is so securely held by all those clips. Even if I roll my truck I know the battery will still be sitting right where it should be. Now I think I will go test that theory, wish me luck :D)

    This video has been up for a while, but I decided to look at it since my original battery has been in my 2015 GMC Canyon for over 9 years (not a typo), It is obviously time to think about a replacement (ya think?) and fortunately, I found your video. Very detailed and a major time saver for those of us who have not tackled this project yet. Kudos for a job well done!

I had all the tools in hand first, used the flathead screwdriver trick to remove the fuse box and it was a breeze! Thanks so much for the amazing content.

    I can't believe I had to Google how to change my battery in my 2015 Colorado. Thank you so much for the instructional video. I'm certain I would have broken/ripped apart a lot of pieces without it. I first checked my owner's manual and it wasn't even in there. And a special thanks to GM for making it so difficult...does anyone know if there is a reason for it to be held in so tightly?

    • @Cocora22
      @Cocora22 Год назад +2

      The reason is simple, the engineers never have to do the work themselves. Additionally the more difficult it is the more they force people to go to the dealer to get it done therefore they make more money and you keep less of yours.

  • @cynthiakranich8030

    Thanks for this video. Definitely is more complicated than removing terminal wires and the holding clamp. When I first looked at the battery, wondered about even attempting to replace it. I think I can do it now.

    • @28TrucksTravel
      @28TrucksTravel  3 года назад +2

      It's probably better you do it than having an auto parts company do it because they will probably break something trying to figure out how to get it out.

  • @bobhoye1462
    @bobhoye1462 3 года назад +1

    When I first looked at the battery, I thought, ‘This will need to be done at the dealer or a garage.” The earliest anybody would schedule me was 3 weeks away. RUclips time. This video is great, I never would have figured this out and this video made it easy. Thanks!

    Tried to get this done at a local auto supply store, but it became very clear that the removal and install was beyond the salesperson. I had never seen a battery like that before, and I wanted to make sure someone competent did it, so I went to the dealer. Your video explained it very well. I will bookmark it, and in another 4 years, check it out and do this myself. Fabulous step-by-step description. I compliment you for it and and will subscribe.

    I long for the days when you removed the negative cable, removed the positive cable, lifted the battery out, then reversed the process to install the new battery. Battery replaced in less than 10 minutes. You could do it in a parking lot with one socket wrench.

    • @28TrucksTravel

    Ok,,,I gotta say, this was extremely helpful!!! Because, if you dont know about the clips on the bottom, the ones you cant clearly see, it's going to really SUCK trying to pry out the 58# battery while reaching over and not wanting to scratch the fender. THANKS VERY MUCH!!!!! A simple thing made easier.

    @brent3190 3 года назад +2

    THANK YOU! I had to change my battery today and there is a below zero wind chill. I did not want to spend any more time than necessary out there so i watched your video. I am not sure how long I would have spent out there with numb fingers trying to feel how that clip comes of the top panel on the left side with a screw driver. There is a good chance that eventually cold fingers vs brittle plastic would have eventually lead to a broken part. (my + flap is already broken like yours did) Thanks again.

    Excellent step-by-step video. Thank you, you made my GMC Canyon battery change easy. It sure ain't like the old days of removing the terminal cables and then the battery.
    I would add: step 0 - use an ODB II memory protector. When I disconnect the negative cable I use a plastic grocery bag to wrap the cable end and then I use a plastic wire tie to hold the cable away from the battery to be sure that it doesn't accidentally fall back against the terminal. I recommend getting a pair of oil-based battery terminal protectors. Finally, I use a 13/16 spark plug socket with a small mallet to tap the cables securely onto the new battery terminals (an old habit) and then tighten them.

    Your instructions were dead on perfect! Thank you! The only tip I would add is that after you move the battery away from the fender well, you need to elevate the positive terminal end of the battery to disengage the low profile hold downs before sliding the battery toward the front of the vehicle to disengage the back hold down. Thank you for your video! It’s the best one out on RUclips especially the tip on how to remove the positive terminal fuse assembly.

    I drove Silverado trucks my whole life and the new trucks, my 2015 and 2018 batteries went out at almost exactly 2 years. I have a 2022 Colorado now for gas mileage and it looks much easier to change the Colorado battery. On a Silverado you have braces to remove and it's on passenger side back in the corner. Good video

    Thanks for the help. Another video left out the part where there are bottom clips holding the battery in place. Put it all back together before finding your video. Easy the2nd time with your help. Cheers!

    Well, I just did mine thanks again for the tips, only issue i had was couldn't get the nut off the other end of the positive terminal, was afraid of breaking something, I was able to wiggle the old batt out and the new one in even with that plastic junction thingy still attached luckily. It looks like an H7 could fit, wonder if anyone has tried, searches say h6 and h7 are same width and height, but the h7 is 1.4 longer, and there are stops on the bottom of my 2020 tray that sure look like they're about that far forward of the battery?
    Again best video ever for this replacement!

    Thank you for sharing this video 👍 I saved myself about 70 bucks changing it myself 😀 and if you didn't show me step by step how to do it, I probably would have broken something and or shocked myself LOL God bless!!

    Thanks for the great video. It was very helpful when I needed to remove the battery on my 2017 Colorado. I found your trick using a screwdriver to pop the release mechanism on the positive side plastic cover very helpful!

    Great video ,cant believe i needed a video to change a battery. It was very helpful, just a minor critique would be to not call a nut a bolt.

    Do you need to use a battery tender? any issues with a radio code or anything like that after removing the battery

    • @28TrucksTravel
      @28TrucksTravel  2 года назад

      Some people said everything reset without a battery tender but I didn't use one and I don't recall having to reset anything except the radio channels.

    I did not see you put back the black triangular shape piece you took out at 6:25. I guess you insert it back when the battery is clipped before you screw in the e tie down bolt? How does that triangular thing holds? Thank you for very good this video !!

      @28TrucksTravel  2 года назад +1

      I have not made a "soon to be released" video on spark plug replacements yet. Is there none on the internet? If not then I should make one soon to be the 1st!

    Can't believe I had to resort to 'RUclips' on changing a battery. Nice instructions on it. Me and plastic do not get along! Couldn't get that plastic fuse block off the battery. I know I better be gentil. All these hold downs are crazy. Where is gonna go? O well its done Thanks again

    • @28TrucksTravel
      @28TrucksTravel  2 года назад +1

      I know! I started changing the battery and discovered it was really difficult and then I went to YT and found nothing at the time!
