Ive tried everything and i cant get this thing turning over fast enough.
I charged both batterys all night.
I used a big battery charger with boost on it.
I plugged in the block heater .
Someone told me to check for a decompresssion lever?

Get your voltmeter, and measure the voltage on one of the batteries, then measure the voltage on the other battery. That will tell you what you have. If what you are showing us isn't skipping anything between the two batteries, then I suspect you have two 6 volt batteries hooked up in series.
If it is, you might have a deep cycle battery in there, (the larger one) and those really have no place in a truck that size anyway. They're more of a marine application.
Check the battery and starter cable connections. Clean any corrosion off. Clean all the ground connections. Get new batteries, like I posted before, and it'll spin over like there's no compression.

The big batterys like a Cat or a big machine battery.
The other ones just a normal pickup battery but its big.
Can you tell from my diagram where to hook up a boost.
I got a big charger with "Boost" and I dont think Im hooking it up right because it doesnt make and diffrence.

No tag to be seen on alternator or starter.

Your drawing shows series. If 12volt batteries, then you are getting 24volts across both batteries. Parallel is like when u jump start a reg 12volt battery and hook pos to pos and neg to neg with result of 12v to other battery.

with normal chargers you will need two of them one for each battery
you are hooked up for 24 volt
you would hook up jumpers off of 12 to each battery + to +, - to -
By the post configuration I would say the big battery is a 4D possibly
if it is 12 volt

Between everything ive learned here and every thing others Ive asked have told me it looks like I need to get a couple of new batterys.
I didnt want to spend $300 bucks until I checked this thing out a little bit , but it looks like im going to have too.
Thanks for the help

I borrowed another big battery.
I cleaned all the posts and hooked everything up.
Hit the starter button and she started right up.
It purrs , hardly any smoke or anything.
Im having air issues now the brakes donr seeem to want to air up.
But at least i can move it around now.

Check the drain *****. They might not be seated properly, or if they're the twist type, might not be closed.
There might be a leak in the compressor discharge line.
The governor might be bad. Or, you might need to put an unloader kit in the compressor.
Keep us updated.
