^sucks. Are you sure it is the battery? Diagnosis by replacement can get very expensive.

I agree. I think you need to do electrical testing to find where the problem is.

Jim , I never said you could not dilute it .

Steve , you did a test when it was running and you said it only showed a little over 11 volts . That means it is not charging . But when the problem started you might have been over charging and nuked a cell in the battery . It is not uncommon . I will bet the Alt was still junk .

We just replaced both in the Tahoe

Won't autozone test the battery for you before you waste money on a new one?
