Jump Starting a Deuce and a Half 

I just jump started a deuce and a half while i was watching this video...coffee does it every time...

Great Deuce video!! almost thought you sold the old truck. Slave cables are alot better than messing with jumper cables. Thats why you need a backup deuce.

Great demo and explanation on how to jump start an M35.

Jump n Carry's JNC 1224 is what we have in our Deuce. It replaced the older jump box we had that wore out. This "portable" jump box works well for 12 and 24V systems and has jump-started our Deuce a few times. It does weigh about 40lbs, though.

Deuce BIGALLOW

Most old heavy equipment has a nightswitch for the battery to cut power off to the rest of the machine. Works pretty good to preserve battery power.

Just hook up a chain to buddy’s truck in pull. Pop start in 2nd. Works every time.

Excellent video Deuce. 👍👍

Good Video

For a 24 volt jump box, get a matching pair of common 12 volt units. Connect each one to ONE of your milsurp truck batteries, turn it all on and activate the starter motor circuit. Alternatively, get a hand truck, strap a pair of 12 volt batteries to it with a bridge cable between them, and use short conventional jumper cables to jump your milsurp truck.

Jump started mine. Winter up north always kills my batteries even with the battery disconnect switch and it barely being used. Anyways I just take my truck or car and hook up jumper cables on one battery like jump starting a normal car and after a few minutes it's good to go or a day like today when it's really cold, in a rush and it's stone dead I hooked up 2 sets of cables, one set on each battery going to 2 different vehicles and it lights right off and is ready to go

I ain't no rocket surgeontist, but could the answer be two battery jumpers?

Should try the 24v jump packs. seen people start road tractors with no batteries

Just call 10 or 15 buddies over to bump start it lol. Damn that's alot of beer though.

its always funny they 4000 amps will go through speaker wire

Most aircraft are 24 volt. Tow it to the airport and hook up to the start cart. Or maybe just keep your batteries charged and ready. I do.

i would like a deuseandahalf

OK so now put two of those jump packs in series and across the outer terminals of those two batteries and disconnect the batteries if very low from the truck click boost on both and then start it… you must then connect the batteries back together quickly before the jump packs shut off… when the jump packs shut off the engine may die

Out of curiosity what insurance company would you recommend for a Deuce? I got my eyes on one and I want to be able to drive the mess out of that truck without worrying about insurance. I got state farm for my pickup, but I 'm not sure if they would insure a Deuce.

Are the batteries bridged on the deuce and a half?

So I know I'm probably going to sound like an idiot but I really want to get a deuce and a half but the pain in the butt is it's not a daily driving kind of vehicle you don't just go on your daily driving but I want one because you know I wanted to be a truck driver when I was younger and this is the closest thing that I can get to a semi without having to go to school because trust me I'm done with human beings altogether so I've got this dilemma do I get a deuce and a half fix it up get it all looking pristine for just a daily driving just a piss people off or do I get one just to run away in my garage and then only drive it like twice a month

Look at the bright side...its not air start with a leaky air system lol

Need more m35a2 videos

I'm sure that it'd been possible to get slave cables for the deuce and a half, if you absolutely needed to. Though, I'm not sure what they'd cost
