Archived third gen 2003 on one battery?

[SDrake]

Dealing with AL power outage. Need battery. Will my truck do OK without passenger battery in warm weather?

Have heard of problems caused by bad grounds on one battery, WONDERED WHY when other battery was Ok.

Yes it should do fine, but you need to rewire the grid heater as well as the alternator lead so the drivers batt is connected to both.

It will be a little slow to crank, but that's the worst of it.

Don't need the grid heaters so I am assuming I can just leave disconnected. Will do the gen lead and try. Neighbor needs the battery. Quiet a deal to keep life and limb together with a projected week of power out. I am using gen and enjoying gas hot water but got caught with pants down on fuel. Good for a couple days then tight rationing. I normally never would be this low on fuel. Thanks for your quick reply.

Should be good.
