    Good spot, run 30 feet of positive battery cable down a flexing frame? Great spot for a rookie to drag a trailer kingpin through it too.

    Become popular again in 08 model year thanks to after tratment. Frame space is a premium on our dump trucks and daycab tractors. All of ours use three group 31 optima yellow top AGM batteries. Works out pretty well.

    The longer the distance from batteries to starter the greater the loss of cranking power......especially in cold weather.

    This wouldn’t work for my area ......
