Battery Question
Before my head injury I could figure this out. What I'm wondering about is adding a trickle charger for the batteries. I'm curious if all I do is add it to the Passenger side and everything is hunky dory at 12 volts? From what I understand, the two batteries together turn over a 24 volt charger. Somebody please straighten out my dyslexic mind.. Thanks..

Nope, just a 12 volt system. There's just a jumper wire tying the two batteries together. Charge the passenger and it will charge the driver side too since they're connected.
I guess you've got a long time between driving the truck?

I guess the next question would be is about the block heater. Reading the manual I found the heater warms the antifreeze. Is it ok to plug in and let sit? Is there a thermostat?
