Battery Boosters
I have a 04 F350 diesel and am interested in getting a battery booster for it. I would like to know how big (amps) a pack I would need for the 6.0 L diesel.
Cold weather is a factor here in Vermont. Thanks for the help.

If they have different sizes available, I would buy the biggest one
Given that the PSD has two batteries in parallel, each of which deliver 650 to 750 CCA - that's 1300 to 1500 CCA, most of the common automotive jumpcharger thingys aren't going to make much of a dent with their 300 or so cranking amps.
But when you aren't completely dead and just need a bit of help, they might do the trick.
