I disconnected the 2 Gauge Red Positive Cable (the other end goes to the Buss Bars in the Cab) from the 24V Buss Bar and connected it to the Rear Battery Neg Post. *I left the Neg Cable from the Rear (in the Cab) Buss Bar where it is, which is attached to the Ground...
@Keith_J this is what is currently installed:
On a side note, will this Circuit Breaker be ok?

Nice! I already have a Red Wire on the Rear Battery Neg Post running to the Black Diamond Shaped Solenoid. I’ll add another one to that same post and run it back to the Rear Pos Buss Bar.
I have 8 Gauge Wire I could add a 12 Gauge Fusible Link. Or 6 Gauge Wire I could add a 10 Gauge...

I just want double check something. Could I just keep the Neg. Black Cable running from the Front set of Buss Bars back to the Rear set of Buss Bars as is? Then keep the Positive Red Wire plugged into the Rear Buss Bar and attach the other Red End up to the Neg. Post of the Rear...
@Keith_J Is this the right 100 Amp Circuit Breaker?

@Keith_J hey there good buddy!
As it currently is, there’s a 12V Power Inverter on the wall near the tailgate area. There’s a Red Cable (from the Power Buss Bar in the Cab) running power to the Inverter. I discovered the Ground from that Buss Bar isn’t hooked up to anything. The Inverter is...
A BIG Thank You to everyone that helped, including Johnny Tyler who have great advice on re-routing the Rear Battery’s Neg Post wire.
Here’s a short video that explains what happened and how I fixed it. I don’t mention it in the video, but I also removed the set of Resistors and the one wire...
Rather than type out a small novel, I think I’ll shoot a short video about what I discovered and how I fixed everything.
On a Side Note, the Starter is 24 Volt. The Red Cable running to it, is hooked up to the 24 Volt part of the Positive Buss Bar.

I could do two things:
1. The Old Buss Bar has a stripped Bolt, the First one on the Left. I could take the Buss Barr Apart and Replace the Bolt with one from the New Buss Bar. Then just put it all Back Together as is.
2. Or Install the Old Piece of Metal, with 4 Holes, into the current Buss...
@cucvrus Here’s the Old Buss Bar. Notice the longer piece only has 4 Holes, not 5?
Here’s the New Buss Bar I installed, it has a piece with 5 holes

Someone made a really good point! Is it possible the Old Buss Bar was modified to 12Volts and the One I just installed is 24 Volts (stock)?
You can see 12 Volts written on the Firewall and a Black Line on the Right Side of the Cover. The Pics below are from before...
Great idea! I’ll check this video out. I’m also going to take a look at the TMs and hopefully find the wiring/cable paths.

@dstang97 the Smaller Red Wire that is connected to the Black Diamond Post, where Extacly does the other end of that wire get connected to?
I have my finger on that wire in the Pic below. *There was another Red Cable hooked up to the same post on the Right. That’s the one I fried, so I removed...
@dstang97 Hello there, thank you for the reply.
The Positive Cable for the Rear Battery is currently running from the Positive Post of the Rear Battery and the Other end is running to the Positive (Top) Bus Terminal Second Post/Screw from the Left. Is that incorrect, maybe I’m not...

Today I installed a Pair of Used Bus Bars into my CUCV M1009. I labeled all the wires and Cables as to where they hook up. I think I made a Big Mistake. Video Below.
When I went to hook the batteries back up One cable sparked and the end of that cable fried plus...
