I have a 94 Chevy Z71 w/350V8 and 5 spd. I also run a 7.5 ft Meyer's with E47 Pump. This truck has a single battery and 105Amp alternator. I plow my 200+ft driveway only, I do not plow any other place.
Unfortunately, when I'm operating my plow, my battery guage is pegged to the left (9vdc), the battery light in the dash panel flashes and a couple of times my truck has nearly died! Since I cannot afford a new 200Amp alternator, I want to add dual batteries to assist with this huge power draw. I've either read or been told that a 90's Chevy with a 6.2L diesel or a 454 came from the factory with dual batteries and that (if I can find one) I can remove the extra battery tray and cables from a junked vehicle and install them in mine.
Can anyone confirm this?
Thanks...
