You will have to lay down under the passenger side of the rear of the truck and look up. It's secured inside a drop down box. Be careful...it's heavy!

Battery is Moved

There is also a kit to put the battery behind the right rear tire. Moving the battery allows a spare tire to be installed under the rear.

TOO MUCH INFORMATION!!!!!!! All at once.

Welcome to the Fanatics from WNC. If you still have the original battery replace it ASAP

Glad to have you aboard. Put battery replacement in the search box and it will show you how to change it if you choose to. Just changed mine after six years. There were no signs of a problem. I followed the advice you were given on this thread.

Batteries last a long time in SSRs because they are not subject to the heat under the hood. I recently replaced the origional battery in my 03 just to be safe and when my daughter's Town Car battery died I put the old one in her's and it is still going strong. But by all means, if you still have the origional AC delco consider getting a new one.
