Re: Delco Voyager's owners question

YES...there is a problem. If I had to bet..the one with the red in it has sulfied...you are getting a false high voltage and the charger says its ok. How old are your batteries and did you always charge them up right away? Sulfication starts in only a day or two and if you don't get on it...over tim...

Re: Trolling Motor Batteries

Maybe....what are the capacity of your batteries? Couple things to consider... Try to use higher capacity batteries. Your standard leadcell deepcycle batteries have a capacity of about 700-800 amps. The AGMs can be from 750-900 depending on the brand. If you get the BIG Dual Pros, 1200 amps! Keep in...

Hi John, Here is my take so far. The Duramax/Allison is a proven combo and has been for years. Ford is now on its 3rd diesel engine in 5 years. The 6.0L I have was plaqued with problems, though mine has been fine. (2003 F350 Dually crew Cab King Ranch with 6L Diesel.) Personally, I really like the c...
