Yes, I was aware my truck had two batteries when I bought it, but honestly, never gave it much thought at the time. Kinda just made a mental note about the $100-$150 fuel filters, larger E-rated tires, and the 3-4 quarts of extra oil.
While helping a friend (with a diesel) shop for batteries the reality hit me---it's going to cost approx. 3X more to replace the batteries on a diesel vs. a typical 1/2 ton gasser !
Curious, how long do diesel batteries typically last? I usually get 3-5 years out of my gasser batteries.
hardly. on my duramax new delco batteries were about 100 each, and they are not a unique battery, just two of them.
