So the Kenworth gave up the ghost, on the original batteries. I knew they were weak, but … I jump started the truck a few times, but soon even my 300 AMP Schumer battery Booster could not start the truck. so I called SPEEDCO (Love’s Truck Stop) up the street. A mobile truck came out to jump the truck and I drove it back tot heir shop to have four new batteries installed.
The traditional lead acid batteries were one price, but there is new technology out there, so I decided to give myself the BEST chance of not having battery issues, by replacing three dead lead acid batteries with FOUR new AGM batteries, which is about three times the power.
Now the truck starts like it is on cocaine! Touch the key, and the engine comes to life! The cost? A tad over $2,000.00, for new cables, and the labor, and the roadside jump start.
