#1 of 3 Avalanche not starting by juice44 Mar 02, 2008 (6:04 pm)
I own a 2003 4x4. Two weeks ago I changed out the battery (went bad). I drove it for 5 days, no problems. Then sunday morning the truck was completely dead, I charged it for 12 hrs and was unable to start even after trying to jump start it. I changed out the battery then had the alternator tested, still good but went down quite a bit once a load was put on. I changed out the alternator anyway....ran well for 4 days and now the truck is completely dead again. Has been charging for 8 hrs but still won't start even when jumping from another battery. It won't even turn over.....any ideas? Replies to this message: hands2 (Jul 14, 2009 12:37 pm) juice44 (Jul 15, 2009 3:39 pm)

Replying to: hands2 (Jul 14, 2009 12:37 pm) My problem was the new battery that was installed by the service center wasn't big enough. Found this out after I replaced the alternator and the batttery twice. Probably doesn't help but there's your answer.
