    End of this chapter --- bought & installed the made-up NAPA positive cable for this truck -- the cable between the 2 batteries was a 2/0 (so was the portion running to the starter) and was a little too long -- turned the drivers battery to where pos pole was on the outside -- worked great...

    Charging question

    Hmmm -- I'll get exact readings after 2nd cup but, amazingly for me, I did test ohms yesterday -- meter tested at zero ohms but red wire tested at 5 or 6 -- somewhere in there -- I'll check again -- nice to know somebody who knows "THINGS"

    Charging question

    Both batteries test very good, separately & with no leads attached -- leads are clean/solid -- well, I think if you separate the positive lead from pax side battery it definitely won't charge -- maybe I'm not understanding you.

    Charging question

    When engine is running, pax side battery shows it is receiving 14.4 volts when measured between the posts. Driver's side battery shows 12.8 volts. To me, that means there's a problem in the big red wire running from the pax side battery???

    Trailered home a 1989 F350 dump truck that looks great on the outside, but the 7.3 IDI is something else

    And you definitely have a 7.3L glow plug controller on it in the picture of the engine

    Installed Dreg's Garage's brass return caps

    If you use the fuel heater delete kit from Classic Diesel Design, it comes with a metal plug to get rid of that return line (plastic plug) off the filter head
