Can't verify the accuracy but found this on another forum:

quote:

My service manager states that the 07007 - and 07033 is a re-program (flash) of the BCM (body control module) to prevent the radio from draining the battery and improve operation of the keyless entry.

GRRRRRR....I watched this thread closely when I first joined the board...before my Tahoe arrived...as always, I was the guy that said "that will never happen to me"
Well, my brand new tahoe (w/ 50 miles), that had been sitting in my garage untouched for the past two weeks, has a dead battery!
I was going to take it out for a spin today...nothing...wont even turn over....never thought that I would have to invest in a "jumpstarter" after purchasing a 50k truck...silly me..

HAHAHA, Yep! Get used to it!

I dont drive my Tahoe but about every two weeks. 9 our of 10 times it will be completely dead when I do decide to finally start it.

However, last week I did the recall update for the battery issue. So far so good. However, I have driven it a lot more than normal. Lets see how it does when it sits for a while.

Bought a "jump-starter", but it needed to be charged for 20 hours!!!
So I had to do it the old fashion way...pulled my durango into the garage to assist...finally got it going...it must have been completely drained....
Anyone know who long I should let this thing run for to charge the battery?
I wanted to take it out tonight, but dont want to get stranded....

I dont think it takes that long before you are ok. Just dont use any extra power with the ignition off than you have too.

However, I seem to remember reading it can take 1-2 hours to fully charge your battery back up after it is drained. That is from memory, and I have killed ALOT of brain cells, even at my young age!

What is this jumpstarter thing? I have always done mine the jumper cable way.

basically a stand-alone "battery pack" , has pos and neg clamps....like doing a jump start without another car.

Guy, I'm a bit late on this post, but while researching the second battery issue, I found GM was marketing this for the Tahoe Police Package. There is a part/option number for it and I assume it includes the necessary harness. As ZX says, the hard part, the tray, is already in place.

I'll try to order the harness through my dealer and see if I can get going.

A vehicle of this size needs a larger capacity battery and crank power. My previous vehicle,a BMW 750IL, had two battery, much larger than this one...

Guys don't forget about this thread explaining the reprogram of the BCM to address the dead battery issue.
Second page has info about complete list of vins so don't just skim this one. Read it all...
