I'd like to run dual batteries but not sure on setup. Do you run a set of cables from truck to battery and another from battery to battery?

Yeah that's what I was thinking. Run positive from battery to battery and then ground the second battery to the frame. I plan on running all my accessories to the second battery when I hook it up

Disconnect fof what? Prevent the alternator from over working

So when you run accessories off the extra battery with the truck off it won't drain the starting battery. I think you can get a smart battery manager thing now.

That wouldn't be hard to setup. On the positive cable running from the main to auxiliary battery, just insert a blade style disconnect switch on the auxiliary battery. Easy to install and simple to use. For some reason, my laptop wont let me copy and paste any link to show you what im talking about lol

The other way to do it would be isolate the extra battery and run all non keyed accessories off the primary battery. That way if you run the primary down with the radio you can just use the aux to start.

I wouldn't run it separately. In my situation, where I jump dual batteried diesels, both of them would have to be hooked up so I get full benefit of them. Wouldn't mind having one of those alternators Chris has either

So you'd run the switch on the positive wire between batteries?

You can wire the relay so it is turned on by alternator charge and/or switched on by a switch in the cab.

Can you post a link to the relay you are talking about?

Just finished cleaning up my iTunes. I'm pretty sure I just deleted about 200+ songs that I don't listen to. Now its time for more songs haha

Im not constantly paying attention to the radio. Also I dont want to hear the same song more than twice a day unless I physically choose to do so. I have a playlist of 730 songs I use

      Gas Prices

      By Atlas · Posted

      I understand that. The price is what it is, though. The price is what oil costs today, where our choices have led us, where supply is, and where demand is, in the market that is. Speculation is for futures, what we think the price will be, but with incomplete information at the time the price is forecast. I know you know this, but you appear to be intent on making a secondary point here about what you think the market could or should be, if only other choices.   In 1975 it became illegal to export US Crude. I'm conflicted on what the best answer is. Free markets allow export in pursuit of profit. But there is also a lot to gain by producing and consuming our own oil here. How do you reconcile it?

      That sir is a choice. And even if it were not for all the reasons stated, this disruption has zero to do with the reality of the actual logistics and everything to do with the greed of SPECULATION. Spot price is irrelevant to reality.

      What I think you're saying is there is supply here at home, and in Venezuela, and we could ease pricing if only it were favorable to do so.   Well, yes?   But that's not the current market. Supply isn't what could someday exist, if only, it's what producers are willing to produce and sell at a certain price point.   The national price of single family homes would come way down if we'd just slap together a few million homes this summer.   RAM and GPUs would get a lot cheaper if we just set up some factories to produce a bunch more and stopped using it to build out AI data centers.

      The turn signal/multifunction switch is faulty.  I've seen a few of these go bad at work.
