My 2008 has only 7500 miles and now three times has failed to start because the battery was dead. Dealer replaced it once and second time recharged, says charging is working and cannot find a short with tester on for 24 hrs. Today i got my second new battery or the third for this truck. I do not drive it every day but usually every 4-5 days and never over 10 days. Any of you with this issue ?

I am having the same problem Now with my silverado 2008. I wonder if its because my garmin is allways pluged in. even with it being off it has a re -chargeable battery?

I have a Garmen too but there is no way IMHO that the drain from charging should kill a battery in a vehicle with a functioning charging system. My dealer agrees. My 2000 F150 has a GPS too and it's fine.
