Default Re: Starting with 12v running with 6v

The Peterbuilt glider kit I bought to make a transfer out of, had a Detroit engine in it (removed), but had the series parallel switch, as the Detroit started on 24, but all else ran on 12..now I don't know what the Alt on it was, but do know that Detroit engines in Peterbuilt's were like this for a very loong time...may even still be for all I know...and never problems.

But, as other's said...seems a lot to do in a car to get more ooomph for starting...I'd think one of those battery jump starter things in the trunk might come in handy when needed.
