They didn't have an AGM so I didn't buy one from them. Until I get the sync problem resolved, a battery won't help anyways.

I can clear any codes with my scan tools (pending or active). Clean the battery terminals really well, install the new battery. Then go and roll the drivers window down. Then lock it via the remote. Unlock it via the remote. Get in (if it unlocks), turn the key to position II, watch all the warning lights, and then try to start it.

Well that sucks. I had same issue. Completely dead battery lights out middle of night side of road(alternator died). AAA could not find local tow company. Needed Key to lock/ open door. Charged battery, replaced alternator, and cycled locks and all was well.

1) Do alternator OBDII test when u get a chance
2) AGM not necessary to get you home, but generally a better battery design for the long haul

I use AGM because they last longer, but you definitely don’t need one.

Had this happen too.

I locked and unlocked truck, key in ignition, lock and unlocked, got in, got out, lock and unlock...

Then it was all fine.
