Jump Starting- any precautions?

[H3LZSN1P3R]

I don't want to derail this thread too far... but do you know how the truck uses the driver vs passenger battery? Are they tied together in parallel as one big reservoir? Or does the truck use one as a "house" or "Accessory" battery while it uses the other as a starting battery? (I'm just wondering if I could jump start myself, if the truck uses only one as a starting battery)

If this is covered somewhere else, feel free to tell me to go search or similar.

Its one big resivior no devision between the 2 so if you cant start the truck you are SOL as both batteries will be dead unless you were to put an isolator… if you are in a place where the grid heater never cycles then you are fine with running on one battery usually

Keep an m18 millwaukee battery in the truck it works to jump start very well

I have a NOCO Genius Boost Pro, 4000 amp, GB150 that works very well, but I'm curious about your post. A great idea, how do you connect to the Milwaukee 18m for a jump start?

No question is a stupid question.

Unless you're asking for help to find the spark plugs on a Cummins!

One wire in each outer port then to the battery i just ise 14/2 household wire, its worked great in a pinch
