As I remember, I think Jeff said that the original GM coolant pump on these trucks had a very short life (something like 500 hours as I remember). When he did the rebuilds, he found a longer life pump (made by Bosch, as I remember), that I think fit nicely. From my memory, I t...

Could it be that ambient temperature is warmer now? I would guess that the extra energy required for cooling in the summer increases the time it takes to do the leveling charge. In order to ensure that the air conditioning is working to cool the batteries, I always check the s...
