I'm currently doing a bunch of work to my truck - AirDog 100, Oil pressure switch, body work to bed, rear brakes, etc. Somewhere during all this work I realized I had a dead cell in one of my batteries. I disconnected both batteries, charged the good one temporarily and added "buy new batteries" to the list. I have left both batteries disconnected for about two weeks now.

Did I create a problem? Can the truck sit for an extended period of time without batteries? Is there anything I need to "reset" when I install the new batteries? Should I quick go hook up the good battery?

I ask these questions cause I saw a post about resetting tps after battery disconnect.

Tell me I'm jumping at shadows?

 

yes, the car will self destruct in 60 seconds...

 

Does it start smoking first and then completely disappear or just turn into a ford?

 

It turns into a Yugo Pickup.

 

Other than resetting your APPS by the procedure and resetting your radio/clock. I don't see why there should be any problems.

 

Where do I find the procedure for resetting APPS? I'll check the forum but if you are awre of the link I;d love to see it. Thanks.

 

Thanks....found it quickly enough. Tech facts under 24 valve - "resetting the apps". Said it before, saying it again....this site rocks!

Thanks to all that contribute!

 

I totally agree with you ClayBob....this site rocks.
I'm about to replace both batteries in my truck and I was too wondering what is the best approach. Do I remove one battery at a time or remove both? Knowing that I only need to reset the APPS, I will remove both batteries.

Thanks everyone for taking the time to answer all our questions and sharing your knowledge.

Merry Chrismas everyone.
