Re: Battery died....
Still alive. I cranked it with a slight pause, and started. Hummmmmm. do I just buy a new battery and take the hit? This would be the first battery I'm going to have to get. I've got 66K on the truck. And, no...my clock is fine when it's started.

Re: Battery died....
Go to Costco and buy a yellow top Optima. They don't list them on their website. But, to the best of my recollection, they were something like $100-130.

Re: Battery died....
Right before my battery went all the way dead, my CD Player would run through all of the CD when trying to start the truck up.

Re: Battery died....
Yes...the battery dying does do some funny things. My CD player would change over to radio in the middle of a song, some of the last key used presets would go haywire, clock would reset.....and sometimes even the toilet in the house would flush when I started the beast....go figure?!?!
Sorry if you're out of warranty...at least you can buy a trustworthy replacement....I now still have a factory one which I will always mistrust.

Re: Battery died....
thanks for everyones help!!!  I finally tried to start up my rig last night and everything was turning on/off... flickering and such. Today, I got a yellow top from Sams, and it's all working great!!! Hell, I think it gained a few HP and MPG's...  Thanks again.

Re: Battery died....
yeup, well, the battery just gave out this morning. I have a G5 hooked up to it and when it gets no power, the siren goes off..
well, my alarm has been going off for about 20minutes down until i got someone to get me some cables..
i wont deal with this crap, the yellow top is for extra draw systems like a aftermarket sound system and the reds are for quick, reliable starts everytime. i have a red in my camaro and i will also swear that i picked up another 10rwhp with the swap!!!!!!

Re: Battery died....
My battery died on me last week and left me stranded in a parking garage downtown. I called 1-866 Hummer 6 for roadside and my battery was replaced under warranty. Do I need to have the dealership run more diagnostic test to determine why the battery died in the first place or just accept the fact the batteries are a POS and move on.
