Why does my pickup have two batteries
Posted on 9/5/2018
Diesel pickups typically have two batteries because they have much higher compression which makes them more difficult to turn over. When it is time to replace batteries both of the batteries should be replaced at the same time even if one is still testing good. When they are a matched pair they will have a longer life, when they are unmatched it causes strain on the charging system and one battery will always be working harder.
Stopping is as important if not more important than starting
Coolant is a vital fluid
Catastrophic damage is not normal
A water pump is a vital component
A little maintenance can prevent a big problem
That growling noise is something to watch for.
They can cause a lot of damage
That streaking can lead to bigger problems
That light is important.
You want this to work properly.
