Seems like lots of questions about batteries. I got some battery replenish chemicals from batterystuff.com and a trickle charge for the 24 volt. Prepped batteies-- the kind that came with truck (6TL ?) and cleaned and retightened all connections. Got down to -10 last night and fired right up with the spark plug assist held on for about 20 seconds while cranking, takes about 5 minutes for all cylinders to fire. Use diesel fuel supplement. Alternator is not working even though replaced with rebuilt. Any weak links to check first when tracing out wiring ?? Actually do not need it when using trickle charger but would like it to work.
Had the beast for two years and a couple of K miles and runs well so far.

Check to see if you have 24 v at the alternator when the ignition is on( at the smaller wire ). I picked up a M35 and its alternator was wired wrong. Check the schematic in the Technical Manual.coloradobill said:
Don't fill the battery to the top and then charge it up. Just fill to the top of the plates and then charge and top off if needed. Excuse me if I get to technical here
but I guess if you fill a battery with water and then charge it up you will push the water out while you push the volts in, (it makes a mess) GoodLuck~Pappa-g
