Dual Battery Install

Just finished installing dual batterys in my 06 f250. I used the factory diesel tray with 1 guage battery cable. the tray was a little expensive but well worth it for the factory look. check out the pics in my gallery.

Nice job. Is your SD a diesel? I don't know anything about the diesels and thought they had two batteries already. If its a gasser, that's nice to have a backup battery. Especially if you arre running an inverter and are up in the northern states.

What all did you have to move to fit it in there? Isn't the airbox over there or had you already eliminated that?

its a 5.4 gas motor. I had already installed an airaid intake so I dont know if the factory intake will be in the way. nothing had to be moved all the factory mounting points were used.

I know for a fact the factory air intake tube setup on the gasser models will not allow the dual battery setup.
