really need to go with a sealed agm battery or a h6/7/8/9 style with a vent tube out of the vehicle. lead acid batteries off gas while charging and it can be deadly/explosive. XS batteries would be a good option, or for more of a budget choice, 2 H6 agm’s would be comparable to what you have now.
I done my battery cable harness similar with the crimper, before i crimped them and I know i didnt have to, i heated up solder slugs in the terminal ends and stuck the cables in and then crimped them all. Then heat shrink on every connection. On my junctions, soldered all and any connection for other grounds and exciter wires, then wrapped with 3m fabric electrical tape. Thats lookin good Greg, keep gettin it 👍
I bought 2 of the extreme battery's from orileys and I left my phone booster on for 3 weeks and it ran my battery's dead and I tried to jump start it with another diesel and really good cables and it wouldn't start, took them back to orileys and they Said they couldn't be jumped like that from another vehicle they will only take a slow charge from a charger, I opted to get the next in line cheaper battery and they can be jumped if need be... just something to think about
Any chance you could grab those dimensions of those battery mounts? Wanting to put a car battery in my sxs, and wanting a good mount that’ll fit… my fab skills are way off par… 😂
Thinking taking step on my first Cummins. 16’ 2500 6sp but my worry is that it’s already been deleted and worry’s me because in all honesty I’d rather buy a stock emission Cummins. Any thoughts as what to worry in over 100k miles .?
Does anyone know how he goes about getting black alternators? Does he buy them that way or paint them? Building a truck rn and don’t want the raw look as nothing around it is. Thanks!
This is a problem with most batteries is the alternator needs to see rpm for an extended period of time to actually charge the batteries say 20 minutes on the highway at 60 to 65 or you could just put one battery on trickle don’t do both at the same time seen some goofy stuff from people getting paranoid🤦🏼♂️
PLEASE! I need to re wire my 06 mega cab 3500 Laramie BAD…. Oem wires are all corroded and need to get new wires and make my own connectors for the batteries……. PLZ HELP! 🙏

I agree, for some reason never really liked the idea of a reg style battery inside
No doubt, always have ventilation for batteries.
Notes Taken Guys!! Thanks!
Double check your terminal ends are in fact suitable for solder, most crimp-able ends are just for crimping and not for solder 👍🏻
Nice work always showing us top quality projects thanks love the channel
The Electrical Depot...619...San Diego, represent!
Make a shorty opposite. Mega cab long bed please
Love the vids and thanks for the opportunity to win the beautiful rig good luck all

Hola amigo cómo saludos acá de Austin Texas Freddy Delgado nice video see you next video
Nice work man 👍
This the type of stuff we wanna see more of
What ever happened with the compound vp44 truck you had Greg? What did it end up making? Maybe stage 2 scheid time?
What’s the scoop on the second gen lately with the ve pump? When is the dyno competition with that?
Get yourself a hydraulic crimper it makes it a lot nicer
seal batteries are better. lead acid batts vent fumes that you dont need to breath in

Why not use Odyssey agm batteries?

Don't CRIMP Battery Cable Ends, Solder Them On!!!!
They sell red heat shrink

Chassis ground your battery's please!

I believe that’s powdercoat

Be very careful with the batteries in the cab of the truck tho every thing that burns fast and hot is in there
