Getting back to the original question...this might be too early to really know anything. After a few months of trouble free battery service, I'd be inclined to think GM figured out a fix. Another question which I haven't seen asked yet....is the battery in the 2006 the same model Delco that's being used in the 2005's?

One other strange thing between the 05 & 06 is the battery cables have been redone in essence they have rerouted and changed the way they are connected. Bottom line is there are no other changes under the hood except the battery connections

I suspect that GM did not eliminate the column lock and reverse shutdown for nothing. I predict that DBS will be a no show in 2006.

I also wonder what the different battery is?
