For those that have had this problem what was the final solution with the vacuum pump running problem?
Optima quality has gone to crap. You pay more for the name built when it was its own company before it was bought by Johnson Controls.My battery is dead I had been putting the Halo jumper too it for 2 days and got tired of doing that so I put in a new Optima Red Top in it. The next morning truck would not start, battery completely drained. Took it to dealership. After 4 days they said that the diagnostics didn't show anything wrong with truck but the OEM battery showed a bad cell in it. I asked about the new Optima battery, and they said that I could have left something on so it drained. They put in a new OEM battery and said it was ready to be picked up, so I will see if this one will make it till the end of the week
I’m interested in the solution as well. I found vacuum pump would run as soon as I connected jump box when battery died overnight. Took it in. dealer said pump tests OK. Truck is still in the shop (over 3 weeks) and dealer can’t isolate the parasitic draw. They say truck has 53 modules and they have to do the test when it decides to “act up”. Since Christmas it’s had 2 new batteries, a BCM, and nearly 7 weeks in the shop.For those that have had this problem what was the final solution with the vacuum pump running problem?
That sounds right for voltage. Was flipping through the screens yesterday on my drive and mine was charging at 14.3 cruising at 80mphWow that's a long time. When I picked up my truck from the dealership I noticed the voltage was at 14.5 (I hope that is normal) when I started it up. I drove off and it started fluctuating 14.4,14.5 then to 14.3, 14.4 . This morning it was at 14.3 when I got to work it was at 14.2. Now after work when i got home at 3pm it is at 14.0 .went out and it's been like that till I got home at 8pm. So I don't know what is going on. If anyone can tell me what my voltage should be at when truck is running
I haven't monitored my battery voltage too much as the truck is brand new, but typically the resting voltage of a good freshly charged regular lead-acid battery is 12.6-12.7v and for AGM it's 12.9-13.2v. It can vary a little between battery types and manufacturers, but it should be around those numbers.Wow that's a long time.
