Smoke coming out the exhaust? If not then looks like we've got a fuel gremlin, they are a pain, but once you fix it you'll love it

If they are just regular batteries I would replace them with deep cycle right away. More than likely I would place 2 optimas in there, but that's just me

They are some mopar 750s. The dude I bought it from put the ones from in my truck in his cummins. But 2 1000 CCA deep cycles? Why deep cycles?

With how many amps are drawn to start these trucks, not to mention from the glowplugs it works these batteries down a lot, the deep cycles are built to sustain the heavy load frequently whereas typical batteries are not. That's why if their not deep cycles, they won't last very long.
