The best lead acid test is a conductance tester. You input into the tester what is half the cca of the battery and It uses a alternating current into the battery and measures plate capacitance. But they’re expensive. If a shop has one its probably provided by the shop owner.

the best method i have seen to check for parasitic draw is to get a jump pack and clamp the pack negative to alternator case and the pack positive to your meters lead set on amps and your neg lead clamps to battery positive post on alternator. then you can remove the battery and do what you need to do without losing codes and customer settings. once the computer goes to sleep youll be able to see the draw going directly through the meter and then start testing the fuses

Its a small mess... The parasitic draw was an incorrectly installed IGN1 relay. (Backwards)

GM recommends driving the vehicle and operating all options, then you turn the engine off, install amp meter and wait 15 minutes for the computers to go to sleep. Sometimes you will see one stay active (intermittent condition hard to find). I had one truck that kicked me hard, it would call into Onstar at 2am and stay connected until the battery was dead at 8am. Some of these cluster repairs require flashing the pcm/bcm/anti theft system. Some radios will malfunction, some steering wheel buttons become inoperative, and like yours here, sometimes you need to relearn idle. Crazy!

I think there's something about resetting the throttle butterfly angle percent to Zero on the Gen3 Chevrolet V8 engines by disconnecting the throttle position switch, turning the ignition switch on for 10 seconds then turning the ignition switch off then plugging the throttle position switch plug back in then checking the throttle butterfly opening %age with the scan tool because I reset mine to about 0% (0.4% it sits at) on my 5.7 litre Chevrolet LS1 V8 engines throttle body. I think it's needed when replacing the throttle body & some people do allow a bit of a gap there when they "cam up" the engine ,for example to improve the idle & they also have to increase the size of the air hole on the throttle butterfly by drilling it out !

The last thing I might have done is recharge and check the battery with a carbon pile load. If it falls below its CCA advertised output or is not not close to it. Pitch that baby in the recycle bin and get the proper rated one for that vehicle. Nice job Ivan

Pine Hollow Auto Diagnostics it defiantly looked spanked.

To help out my amp clamp for low-draw issues, I built a coil of wire protected by a 5 amp fuse. I put the coil in-line with the circuit being tested and take measurements from the coil. The coil is ten loops of wire so the current displayed needs to be divided by 10 to arrive at the actual current draw. Certainly helps bring the reading up to within the cheap meter's capability. Maybe someday I'll get around to building a 100 loop armature wire winding (varnish-covered wire).

Got to watch those newer electronic throttle bodies. If they are really dirty and you clean them they will idle fine but as soon as you push on the gas they race and race and the rpm never comes back down untill you turn off the engine. You always have to do a relearn procedure with a capable scan tool to fix that issue.

Use a cheap Chinese software battery analyser and seems to do the job as well as testing the alternator. Fluke have tight specs and are one of the leaders in their class. TB cleaning sure makes an awful difference to normal engine operation. Never too late in the year for a snow blizzard.

I have a 2006 3500 with the 6 liter engine. Just like that one. With the same Napa legend top and side post battery. It can only set 2 weeks without starting or the battery runs down. I have a new battery in it just like your new one and still can only set 2 to 2 1/2 weeks. You have to keep a battery maintainer on it. All of these trucks are a little slugish with the starter. I have everything in perfect condition electrically, but it still a bit slow on the first start. Mine did not charge much and. I replaced the battery and The charge rate went right up. This is the third battery in mine. The original starters on these trucks always seemed a little weak. I also have the same Fluke amp clamp and my parasitic draw is very very low, Just a fraction of an amp from my battery condition monitor. No matter what I have to have a 1 to 3 amp float charger on it. It always starts so I am not going to spend big bucks on a higher performance starter. I had to clean all of the battery cables and where the wire crimps on with cleaner unit oxidant. The red and black covers can be pulled off to let you clean every surface and crimp and replace or polish the battery bolts.

@@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics haha, yeah, they've done that since the early days of OBD1!!! I assume it's just noise hitting the wires from speed sensor or clutser my 1992 does that, if you free-rev and every other that I can think of after that :))

Do you use an electric desoldering gun for the cluster repair?

I have one, but just used a regular Hakko iron for these, since the steppers pop out easily enough :)

@canuckguy worried Yes, America is the only country in the world doing work. Nobody else actually has any industry or business to do. Europe especially doesn't have a similar or bigger economy than the US and one and a half times the population. Nothing to be seen here.

​@canuckguy worried I noticed. In this context (vehicles and application), same difference.

If it works it's a Fluke!

It looks like it's been driven into a lake. Poor truck.

Yep that battery is bad it needs to be spanked...oh wait it is already spanked...lol...

best way to test for low level DC current is a meter physically inline between battery and wire. add in a temporary jumper with disconnect or knife switch, connect it and let it go to sleep then open the switch and watch. it was much easier on top post! no magical adapter/extenders/custom cables needed.
