    You need alot more Cold Cranking Amps for diesel applications, as the compression in the motor is usually twice as much as petroleum cars, those 80-90 dollar battaries struggle to turn over VW 1.9 TDI's, they wont stand a chance starting a massive v8 or inline 6 diesel, there's no such thing as cheap batteries for diesels, your cheapest route is buying Optima Marine grade batteries, that way you only take a hit once. My two, (yes my truck takes two massive batteries) in my 5.9 cummins cost $1800 CDN. And that was a deal, but they're 11 years old now, truck sits for months on end, as i only use it rarely, to tow, and literally has never not turned over for me, in cold as F Ontario Canada.

    I am so happy to see you trying to get them fixed. As an EMT I was stoked when Cleet got them, but saddened not to see them being used for anything.. Cool old ambos... Juts FYI, ambos are very complicated, especially the coolant and A/C lines, as in most rigs they share the heat and AC from the engine with the attached box (others have separate HVAC units, but those were expensive options.) So you have a lot of additional hoses running around. In the real old days, we had hand valves to shut off heating in the summer... Besides that and the additional electrical, they are a basic E350 cab... Anyway, I hope Cleet has some good plans for them..

    Used to do hundreds of these ambulance n mini school busses. I hated some of them as they put the batteries under the bed in a box on the chassis so changing batteries was a pain would just take a Sawzall to the box to make life easier. Every manufacturer would be sure to have short enough cable to the batteries to where you gotta fight for it. Also I loved getting the new guy to spray ether in the intake right as the glo plugs fire up and scare the daylights out of them. We would crash these things like crazy n rip them apart with a skid steer. So much fun.

    Did ya know there's normally a master switch on the left drivers side? Depending on how they're wired, will depend on how they're wired to the batteries. The master power switch will be on the left side drivers door side, normally they're on the floor or they can be mounted on the side of the seat. They put them in so shorts in wiring don't drain the batteries. There's a lot of equipment that run off of inverters like suction, lights, heaters, and various other things for the rear of rig/bus/ambulance. I laugh because we had just got a brand new rig, my Paramedic partner was driving and I asked him when he started smoking. I knew he doesn't smoke and withing seconds we were calling in the Calvary (Law Enforcement, Fire, and othe rigs) we did the chinese fire drill I asked B if he had turned off the Master switch. By then the first of the Calvary was showing up and B was about to get roasted (the business!)LOL. What caused the fire? It was a bad inverter and the company setting up the rigs decided they'd put the Inverter under the drivers seat.lol After that a lesson was learned and they changed putting the inverter under the drivers seat and put them in the rear of the rig, normally opposite side of the Oxygen tanks. We still laugh our booty's off, and B was the butt of the joke 99.9% 🤣 of the time. A brand new rig almost burned to the ground that day, all B had to do was turn the master switch off and we wouldn't of needed the Calvary. LOL
