    Never lost any memory settings unless you mean power seat settings?

    I think you'll loose the trip odometer instantly, but that's about it.

    After 5 minutes, your truck takes a job as a construction worker for a while, then travels to Mars based a mysterious tape telling it about its previous life. :anonymous:

    My factory battery lasted fine with no issues and held a charge, but replaced with a Costco Interstate battery after 6 years being on borrowed time. As others said, the only settings lost that I noticed were the trip odometer and also tank mpg calculation reset. Otherwise I didn’t notice anything different.

    Just had mine out for about 24 hours and only lost the clock setting.

    Can't speak for you fancy pants fellas though.

    But I will say to disconnect the ground first and reconnect it 2nd.

    If you are really concerned about loosing any kind of memory the other battery will supply power.

    Mirror compass zone needs to be re-entered, plus the last used climate control settings are lost (no big deal).
