My 2013 Chevy Silverado 2500HD Diesel has two batteries. They are original and therefore at least 7 years old. My concern is that they die in a most inopportune time.
The one battery is in the normal place up top by the fender but the second battery is buried somewhere.
I know that I should replace both batteries at the same time as they are a parallel connection.
Has anyone replaced there batteries themselves? How complicated is it? Where exactly is the 2nd battery located? I've searched online and cannot find anything on replacing the 2nd battery.
My dealer wants $55 replacement fee for each battery plus $169 for each battery. A total of $475 including tax. I understand that the replacement is more difficult for the 2nd battery but is $110 labor fee a bit much?
Thanks in advance for your help

Dealers make their money in the service department. $475.00 is less than a monthly payment. Just drink cheap beer for awhile.
