I should probably just get a Wal-Mart battery and then if it goes dead in 3 to 4 months at least I would only have to drive 1/2 mile instead of making an appointment and driving 60 miles to the dealership AGAIN!

There are plenty of threads here about batteries. GM Batteries are the most common complaint, well known fact. You can get a bad one one time, then a good one (like me *nyah*). Most 'dead battery' cases are either a bad battery or parasitic drain from an aftermarket product (usually new stereo or ipod adapter incorrectly installed).

Hey I understand you have a bad battery, it happens. That's the risk of having a hummer dealer a long way away. It's also why you have Hummer Roadside assistance - QUIT YER BISHING.
