That's crazy, I have a Ram 3500, there is no way I would ever try to jump it off my bike, maybe the other way around, takes two batteries to turn that diesel over. Did the guy have red eyes and maybe a strange smell?

I guess he thought 12 volts is 12 volts. I agree he must have been desperate to have even asked. I hooked an ATV to a diesel tractor on our hunting lease and let it charge for awhile
Didnt crank the tractor with it hooked up though. It worked in a pinch, but I would have declined also.

Now that hotty with the big Ford, I think we would all find a way.

What a dope.

Batteries and vehicles are different nowadays.

A good friend with a Ford Edge. All electrical/lights worked perfectly but it wouldn't start.

Tried jumping it with my Charger, no luck. Turned out it needed new battery. I would have never guessed based on the electrical functions working so well.

You're sure it was his pickup he wanted 'jumped'?
