Allan: We're just not up to speed with this modern technology. When we were young lads a diesel would run on nothing and gasser on little more than nothing, and if one could avoid using starter or lights he could go a looonnnggg way.
I remember back couple of years, was headed for Detroit, modern day Mack with all the bells and whistles. I noticed the Mack was not charging, so pulled into rest area on I-94. Got a set of jump cables from another trucker, hooked the truck batteries to the refer charging system, for about 45 min. until the other guy wanted to leave. Since it was now daylight, I figured without lights on, I'd be good for downtown Detroit. WRONG, at the 12 mile that Mack electronic injection pump had been drawing so much juice, the Mack died, I-94 at the 12 miles to my destination, Detroit rush hour. I learned something that day. A 12', 10 gauge jump wire from refer to truck electrical system would have kept me going. It's now a perminant fixture in that truck. You best install a volt meter.
By the way, I don't think we're idiots, we just shouldn't trust modern day idiots.
