Can this jump starter start my dead truck? NOCO BOOST GB50 test / review // RAM 1500

- It's test & review time for one of my new favorite tools! Today we're taking a look at the NOCO BOOST GB50, 1500 XL jump starter pack. Is it the best jump starter box? It packs a wallop, at least on the spec sheet - let's see how it holds up against my 2019 RAM 1500 Limited with the 5.7 liter HEMI eTorque engine - and a dead battery!

We'll be putting it through its paces, but along the way I'll do a quick unboxing to show you what it comes with, the hard case I ordered for it, and the other features it has. And when I say we're going to put it through its paces, I mean several tests of it, trying to start my dead battery - 2.6 volts!

I've got one of those and it has saved me a couple of times Great video my friend
Thanks 👍 They ARE handy!
Finally the video i was looking for... Thank you !!!!
Glad I could help!
I have a jump box. I used it at Sturgis to charge my phone and Sena camera. I also used it to jump start my wife's mustang.
oh wow, yeah, holy crow - I can use this thing to charge my camera batteries on the go - I hadn't even THOUGHT of that - THANKS! And then I can charge it up at a hotel room or something.
I have one of those boost packs. Didn't know about the hard case going to have to get me one of those. Your battery drain could be from a bad TIPM they are not cheap, but very common issue.
Yeah, my wife thought the case is silly, but I'd rather protect this thing!
And, it could be the TIPM - but it's so intermittent that it's far cheaper to carry this thing around with me just in case :D
From the forums, it looks like the power running board control module might have a scenario or two where it stays on, which lines up with my truck going dead... time will tell.
First time you had the perfect time to bring out the cigar 😂
It is starting the Battery, which starts the vehicle.
Yup. Works like a charm!
i really like the case,
So funny story, in January this year my cvo was dead and saved by a friends noco GB70, so before i got on my bike to return it, i ordered one to keep on my bike and didn't realize i bought GB150 😂, so i got a GB75 to carry on the bike and i put the 150 in the truck
Dang, man! That's the big boy right there! The 40 is enough for most cars, 50 for most trucks, and anything over that can start that Caterpillar heavy-duty dump truck parked in the construction lot that you eye on your way home from work every day, and wonder if you could start and drive around!
Do you also have the tools to take the seat off so you can get to the CVO's battery? That's a job I haven't done in a while, or ever, on my bike, LOL.
@@RoadReality I do have the tools, it's just one bolt, but what I also learned when the CVO was dead was that the starter was all I needed to hook the noco up to
@@Setzerpendence Oh, interesting - is that the part that hangs down between the cylinders on the left-hand side?
I kid, I kid - that's the flux capacitor, I KNOW that. :D
So neat that you can hook up to just the starter and fire her up - I wouldn't think that'd work!
@@RoadReality I'm kinda embarrassed I didn't think of it, your basically just replacing the battery as far as the starter is concerned (no, not actually removing anything)
@@Setzerpendence Yeah, good point! Once it gets going again, the alternator/stator should power the bike back up. So long as you get a good ground, it shouldn't cause any issues.
Thanks for the honest review. I needed one that will fit in a tight space on my jet ski.
You're welcome! I hope it fits!
I have the same jump pack. 100% worth the money and it hasn't failed me yet
That's good to know! Thanks for sharing :D
The craziest way I have seen someone jump start another vehicle was in Afghanistan. Both individuals did not have jumper cables, but they did have tools. The vehicle with the good battery removed their battery and then flipped the battery upside down on top of the dead battery touching the terminals to each other, and proceeded to crank it over. The vehicle started, and I learned a different way to jump start a vehicle. I believe the battery that was flipped was the non leaking kind, because it did not leak...
That's insane - and I love it! Ingenuity at its finest! Thank you for sharing that, and happy Easter!
@@RoadReality Oh yeah, it is Easter I completely forgot. I am now looking forward to tomorrow to purchase the plastic eggs for my dogs. I put dog treats in them and let the dogs go for an Easter egg hunt. I did it last year, and it was hilarious watching them scurry all around the yard. Hmm, maybe an Easter egg hunt video?
@@PaulsMotoZen That sounds like a lot of fun - definitely get a video!
Yeah it takes a bit of running for it to confirm all the settings.
Great idea to have one. Does it Work for your motorcycle too. I would think so. Hope you get your ram figured out.
I was without a vehicle for quite some time when I finally got the major part fixed the rusted rear subframe, I’ve been doing all kinds of preventive maintenance work on my SUV now. So grateful to have a vehicle running. Thanks for the vid 😊
Man, without a vehicle, I feel stuck! I can't imagine not having ANYTHING to drive/ride!
Yeah, truck's figured out, for now at least... new battery.
I think this jump pack will work on my motorcycle - I even heard you just have to jump the starter to get the Harley touring bikes running, without having to yank the seat!
Yeah, those things are great. I have the 2500, but just ordered the 1500 to keep in the car.
Awesome! :D
That seems like a decent product. I need to get me one just to have around
I like this one - and recommend it - I got to use it a few more times after this video was recorded, and it was great.
I got a Noco and I swear by it. I use more as a phone charger than a jump pack though. It can start some larger diesels like f550s and even some small internationals but everything has to be just right
Thanks for sharing that - before I published this video, I didn't know anybody who owned one... now I know there are several! :D
I still need to buy one to carry with me. Thanks John
You're welcome! Great tool to have.
I also have one of those handheld chargers .... Love it!!!
Awesome! :D
I worked on Land Rover vehicles for years, and you'd be amazed how many issues are caused by a battery. Computers are so sensitive to the battery state of charge and amperage. Makes me nervous to see the American vehicles made to such a complex standard nowadays.
Seeing mechanics work on new stuff today is like watching a monkey reason with a football.
That last statement had me ROLLING! :D
But yeah, computers are finicky about the power they get, and automotive computers have to be hardened somewhat, so it's a crap shoot as to what goes wrong in a car these days. SMH
I like the idea of a booster but damn they take up a lot of storage and I really wish they had a pig tail adapter for Harley's
Yeah, they DO take up storage, no way around it... but the pigtail thing is probably down to amps. I assume you meant to plug into the factory SAE plug that sticks out of the left side cover? That thing is on a 15 or 20A circuit, and these things can send out a lot of juice.
Setzerpendence said he found out recently that you just need to jump the starter on these bikes... so no need to access the battery directly, lol.
Thanks John for the information
You bet!
Very cool (and thanks for using my song)!
That’s some pretty dope music.
Sorry about the battery 😎👍
Thanks! But now that I have this new tool, it shouldn't be anything more than a minor inconvenience :D
Looks pretty nice!
Dude, it IS. My new favorite "Hope I don't need it" tool :D
I'm about to buy one, I'm debating to get the one you plug up and leave it under the hood i believe it's the Noco 2d. But it's not waterproof. I'm wanting one the waterproof and can stay under the hood.
Interesting... I hadn't realized that NOCO makes battery chargers too, but that makes sense. I only knew them for jump packs.
I'm guessing you've got a vehicle that sits a lot?
Yup I do. I'm a truck driver. I'll have to ask my daughter or wife to crank up my vehicle.
@@MrJoe478 Ahh, but if you have an in-line charger, that'll keep the battery topped off while you're away! I can see why you'd want a waterproof one. Good luck!
Definitely something to have , 👍👍👍
It sure is!
Still having issues with your Ram lol
That's the only one! :D
I literally never read instructions
Me either - if it looks simple, just go!
its a mopar........
