Alright, heres the scoop. The truck, 2000 Silverado Z-71, 5.3. Nothin special done to it other tha a CAI and Gibson Catback.

The problem. The battery keeps overflowing everywhere. The battery is fairly new. It started a few months ago out of no where. The alt is fine, had it checked. We'ce changed the battery out w/ one that wasnt doing that, and it did it to that 1 too. We drained water out of it, we dont have a clue as to what else to do. Its even got the local alt rebuilder/battery guru going bonkers. And by we i mean my dad and i, its his truck..its ruining the garage floor, getting all over under the hood...everything....any ideas or similar experiances?...think it'll stop if he says screw it and gets a gell battery?....this is gettin old.......TIA

 

get a optima red top

 

sounds like its overcharging. i work at an auto parts store and we do that all the time for fun. how much voltage is it reading when the vehicle is running.

 

what its supposed to...between 14 and 15

 

About 14.3 to be exact...but yes, between 14 and 15
