Will this start a F-250 Diesel? My new batteries are junk and need more CCA power, around 1100. I believe this will work but not sure. It gets cold

I used this on large Kubota tractors with totally dead batteries and it has enough power to start them. Have been very satisfited with this unit. Much better than jumper cables.

an es 1224 booster pac is over kill to start a diesel pick up. it is 12v or 24 v used on heavy equipment and tractor trailers with up to 4 batterys . i would buy 2 new batterys or es5000 12volt booster pac should start any diesel pick up if batterys are any good at all!

I use this thing to start my Cummins motors in my concrete trucks and off road fork lifts. If the trucks block heaters are not plugged in and it's really close to zero it won't start them. If the batteries on the truck are dead and the block is warm it absolutely starts them up. I would believe it would start a pickup truck motor from cold with a dead batteries.

900 cold cranking amps. Fires up any car or truck with 1 battery. I found that jump starting diesel pickups with 2 batteries when they are completely dead, this jump starter won't do the job. You'll need the next step up in battery pack.

HA! Nope.This is a motorcycle battery. You could probably get it to work. You'd need a couple of them to get enough amps to crank the diesel motor.

I ordered this for my husband. I am not as knowledgeable about it as he is, but I think it only works on kerosene. We have bought kerosene 1 and 2 and it says you can use diesel #1 but I spoke to someone at the co-op about it and he said it would release black smoke. he said even the k2 will but as long as you won't be using it very long sitting in the same spot that it shouldn't be a problem. I don't think you can run it with electricity because when we were out of kerosene my husband was nagging me like crazy about how cold it was. If it ran off power he would have just plugged it in.

I have noticed a difference when it is very cold, but it has always started my truck. If you live in a very cold climate, I would buy the red top battery. I wondered the same thing when I purchased this, but I live in Mississippi, so it's not usually that cold here.

You need to put oil in. It will not work until the oil is in. I did not connect the battery. It is easy to pull start. Use the leads provided if you want to connect the battery. You have to remove the cover on the side of the unit to get to the battery.

I had problems in cold weather (40 deg F) when I ran it on a 15 amp circuit--it would just hum and trip the breaker, and I'd have to cycle it on and off quickly before I finally got it to run. I ran it the same day on a 20 amp circuit and it worked just fine.

Well your batteries are wired parallel sop they're is no parasite with voltage. I don't know if the truck uses a contactor for a starting battery and an operating battery our both full time, but either way the cigarette adapter will work if it has power to it

This unit 85250 will NOT work on a diesel. You would need Edge number 85200. Please feel free to give me a call if you need more information. Thanks, Dave monster performance 870-580-0940

Yep it's ready to run. You need fuel and igniter. Very fun I love mine. Sorry I forgot you need batteries 4 AA for truck and 8 AA for controller. I would suggest thread lock and remove screws on bottom and put thread lock on them because they will come loose after a while. Have fun.

I used mine on a dual battery system on a Ford F-250. It was on all winter and iot worked perfectly even keeping the batteries fully charged in minus 15 dgree weather. I'm fully satisfied. Some remarks said that it wouldn't recycle once the batties reached full charge but I didn't find that to be the case. Like I said, after sitting in the cold for five months both batteries were at full charge.

this starter fits gas motors not diesel. Looks like you might need a Starter-Motor-TYC-1-06670-fits-03-07-Ford-F-250-Super-Duty-6-0L-V8 Starter-Motor-TYC-1-06670-fits-03-07-Ford-F-250-Super-Duty-6-0L-V8 Starter-Motor-TYC-1-06670-fits-03-07-Ford-F-250-Super-Duty-6-0L-V8 Starter-Motor-TYC-1-06670-fits-03-07-Ford-F-250-Super-Duty-6-0L-V8 Starter Motor TYC 1-06670 fits 03-07 Ford F-250 Super Duty 6.0L-V8 this is listed for 04 250 sd 6.ol but you should double check that. the tyc 1-06646 fits gas motors

I am maintaining a 1000 CCA Industrial/deep cycle battery on my tractor at the moment but I have used it on my Dodge Ram 3500 Diesel with two batteries and it worked fine as far as I could tell...I had no problems. Hope that helps.

Yes! I installed this starter about a month ago and every 7th or 8th start it doesn't kick the gear out. It just spins. It will work eventually, but I have to keep trying to start the truck over and over. Please let me know what you find out. Thanks.

the wires that come with it that you hook up to car battery will melt after a few seconds. dont forget to disconnect one battery terminal before jumping. id say that is a hell of a punch, so who cares what the spec s are. it started my semi diesel engine in about 3 seconds. first i unhooked both 1200 cold cranking amp batterys. kick ass wow.

Not sure if I can help. You may get better response from the manufacturer. I would make sure you have reset the choke after starting (just to ensure you are getting the correct fuel-air mix), ensure you have the eco button turned OFF, make sure the fuel valve is fully open (you may want to cycle it on/off a few times to be sure). I use this on my sailboat and have used the 30A to tie direct to my AC input on the boat. However, I have never put more than approx. 1500W load onto it. Never really tried to load it up. Otherwise I am happy with performance. Hope this helps.
