Batteries, but of course!
my favorite dead battery song
we used to have an old K100 with a kitty Cat 3408, pain in the ass 24 volt starter with a series parallel switch
weird transmission too, 16 speed
nothing like the 72 Jimmy glided onto a 75 Freightliner with a 350 small cam Cummins and a 13 speed road ranger
I was never a truck driver but i used to take them from work for joy rides around the country roads.

An old Oneida Freight truck set up for hauling doubles on the thruway. It was an Eaton with a 5 Speed and a 4 way splitter but you had to skip 4 combinations, giving you 16 forward and 4 in reverse. Ray( a real old school driver) liked it cause with the 400 HP 8 cylinder Cat, he only had to use the splitter, once on the highway, for his top 2 gears and that's all it needed.
