Cars got 1 12v battery. Need 24v to crank a semi. It's worth spending $300-400 on a 24 volt jump starter. Sure you can say not my truck make them pay for road calls but then you're wasting your own time. People buy $800 GPS units they don't need anyways might as well buy something that'll save you time and make you money. Especially up there in the badlands during winter time.

A bunch of us should remember the days of series/parallel switches in trucks. everything ran off 12 volts except the starter complicated systems. I think they quit using it in the early 60s.
