    Toggling the solenoid made no difference. Everything worked with it toggled off, or toggled on.

    When I was testing it, yes. Everything done was with the B2- disconnected. Currently everything is back to pretest configuration.

    Yes the factory back up lights come on when it is shifted into reverse or when the switch is in the on pos. I dont know what ALT is in the truck, so I dont want to overload it. I will get a multimeter and run through the procedure you outlined previously, before I wire B1+ to the solenoid post...

    I followed your instructions, and nothing exploded. +10 trust. Batt 1 is hooked to the charging system, Batt 2 is hooked to the extra things. B2- disconnected, B1+ connected to B2+. Voltage meter/USB charging port= working. CB radio=working. Solenoid On=clicks. Front Light Bar=works. Rear...

    Is this a square body?

    No, I asked to be silly. And because both were GM products during the SB timeline. Albeit built by subsidiaries. What is a Square Body?

    Sounds good. Gotta get the burb smogged, and registered, then maybe a trip to the trails between Ocotillo and Plaster City.

    its simple. You bungee the ladder to the seat, bolt the skid plate to the ladder, and put the door on the skid plate. And stick to the sand as much as possible. Which is not hard between here and Yuma.

    Thanks for all the good info so far. I hate to be a bother, but what the heck. I spent some time tracing the wires coming off the second Batt. And I dont know if pulling the grounds off the wires to the lights will be an issue. The one with out E-tape goes to the 3 back up lights. The one with...

    I will get more and better pics soon. I dont have a test light or multimeter,yet, but the deep cycle batt is dead. And nothing is tapped into the charging system yet. The po did use a toggle to trigger the solenoid. It is on the center console.

    I plan on being in Texas the first part of Oct. Taking the 10 to San Antonio, gotta see the Alamo, then up to Dallas. Then on to WV. I am open to arranging a meet up, if you want. We will be pulling a trailer. Let me know and I will pull it off FB if you want it.

    Dual Battery

    The light bar in the front, the 3 back up spot lights, the CB and the charging ports are all wired to the switches on the center console. All the switches are wired to the solenoid, and then to the second battery.I was think maybe I could just run a 12 or 16 gauge wire, with a fusible link, from...

    I only have them listed as free to members of this forum. On FB Marketplace I am asking for a small amount of cash.

    I dont know if its needed or not. I am just looking for the easiest way to get the light bar, back up lights and the CB working. I wont be using anything without the engine running. I am not great with ad hoc wiring.
