Yeah, updated my post with more info (questions lol).

EDIT: OK, I found from Optima directly that their yellow top AGM battery is considered fully charged at 13-13.2 resting volts. It will be easy to test once I get my setup going.
In my testing I can confirm that the Optima will show between this range.

Since I'm not running solar yet I went with this to isolate the batteries. I also went with the NH Overland battery tray like the other poster did.

I've been trying to find info on if it's OK to run an AGM deep cycle battery with the OEM battery in this configuration, but haven't found anything yet. From my limited understanding so far, the AGM will not get a full charge from the alternator if used with the OEM battery as primary. I may just run an AGM charger in the garage to top it off the last 20% or so. Or just go full yellow top for the starter and the auxiliary which I believe would then allow a full charge from the alternator??

I believe his Redarc solves this issue.
Yup, the Redarc allows for different battery types.

Traded my '20 Tradesmen in for '19 Power Wagon this past Wednesday night. By Friday night I had a step up in tire sizes now 35s and I put in my tonneau cover. Trying to see if I can hide my 20 inch light bar in the grill. Had it in bumper grill of other truck now I have a winch there.

Going to try

Baja Texas Offroad - Hwy 48 tomorrow or monday.​

AflaOBD for all your programming needs.

Do you mean an exhaust cutout? Why? The truck does 0-60 in 9 seconds and would look silly making all that noise and not going anywhere. My opinion anyway.

Traded the wife's Grand Cherokee in on a 2019 Blue Streak Power Wagon this weekend.

I drove it to work this morning and promptly got a flat tire in the parking lot. Haha. Clearly a sign that I need to get the 37's on deck sooner rather than later.

Thanks to @TrailWhale for the assist.

5th gen 1500s actually have a bigger cab interior though. The one thing I miss from my 2019 1500.
Noticed the same thing. I was a little surprised that my daughter could use the power wagon's front seat as a foot rest from the back seat. Something she could not do in the rebel.

That’s a sign if I ever heard of one
