Ok just had my wife check and there is white smoke coming out while cranking. There is plenty of fuel and oil. All the fuses under the hood look good. Is there anything else I need to check?

Ok good.
Plug it in for a while and see if it starts.
While waiting, read this thread on the GP system.

HPOP (High Pressure Oil Pump) is located on top of the engine under your fuel filter bowl. The fuel filter is bolted to the HPOP reservoir which is directly under your plastic engine cover. There is a allen drive plug that you can remove and check the level of the reservoir only while the engine is off. It's pressurized when the engine is running. Here are some pics...

Pretty sure it's a battery issue. One question. Are both batteries interconnected or independent? I checked the hpop and it's full of oil. It's almost to fully cranked while jumping it off. Once I get this cranked I'm heading to autozone as these batteries are only 3 months old

Good news.
To answer your previous question....both batteries are connected in parallel so it still is a 12v system but you have more amps on tap.

I have always replaced them in pairs, even if just one is bad.
