I have a 2002 Duramax HD with two battries last weekend while staying in the Smokies my truck failed to start the next morning. Had to get it jumped off. There is a nite lite in the bathroom cabinet I just now found out how to turn it off. You would think that three batteries would last for some time, the ones in the truck are five years old may be about gone? I think I will install a dual alternator kit and go to gel batteries.

Ramp- I had the same thing happen on my '02 Duramax. Don't know if it will help or not but you might take a look. The battery cable on the passenger side was corroded on the inside where you could not see it. Take it off and remove the center part and give it a good cleaning in baking soda. Use a wire brush to clean the posts, etc. I bought new batteries thinking that was the problem. Of course, at 5 years, you are probably on borrowed time for the batteries. This has been two years ago and I am still runnning the OEM in my boat.
