I'm in central Illinois but I travel all over for work. So the 6.7 is t too hard to start in the winter huh? I know my 6.0 was a PITA when it was cold. That old beast left me stranded numerous times.

add 2 more batteries
why
the reliability of batteries factors how often they are discharged, how deep, and what percent of charge were they when discharged.
having more batteries provides more crank amps while not deep discharging and cranking when not fully charged and reducing the extent of deep discharging.
how
you can get e-350 ambulance battery boxes and bolt them on the chasis passenger side under the floor. there room for two. one under front passenget, one under rear passenger.
