>>Sounds like you're using a set of $9.95 booster cables; should start within a few minutes with a HEAVY set of cables;
I bought the heaviest pair they (local Agway) had. I think they were 6 gauge.
>>a charger may.......or may not... help, depending on the condition of the battery. A 225 amp.....or better...... charger will probably start it.
I started out with a 300amp Black&Decker portable jumper/inflator. Home Depot sales guy tells me they come charged. Now that I am reading the manual more carefully, its 1/2 charged and requires a 24 hour charge before use.

So I think the next time I get up there I will remove the batteries and clean them up and then try the charger/jump starting.
I wasn't sure if jumping from a gas truck would turn a diesel or not.
