You'll have to reprogram all your radio buttons and any other memory presets you may have on your truck, but it won't affect how your engine runs.

Yes, but you will get a P0603 (I believe that's the number), but that's a soft code that won't set the light. That code will go away by itself since it just represents a bad battery connection, or in your case disconnected batteries.

Do you have a certain code you're trying to get rid of, or are you just trying to start fresh in your diagnosis?
