I have a 08 Chevy 2500HD diesel, and I know that when the trailer is plugged in to the truck plug, you have to have the tow/haul button pushed on the end of the shifter. Otherwise, the charge wire in the 7 round plug isn't working.
Optima batteries are made in Mexico now. They don't have the same restrictions and work environments that we do, so the batteries fall short from previous expectations on them. A lot of batteries are made there now, and have dropped in quality from a few years ago. Deka batteries are still made in the US, I know from a friend that sells them at his auto parts store.
Do a little research, and find what you think is an acceptable battery, I found some that fit the bill at Batteries Plus for my sand car, and my old Corvette.
