Started the truck up to go get the motors and it threw a code for low voltage. Did my test and thought it might be one of the bats had a dead cell, but no there both low. The ALT won't bring them higher then 13.2V. Then tried one at a time with 40 amp changer, still no good.

Going to get a couple more this afternoon after the rain blows thru and reschedule the pickup

These were Duracell AGM with 3yr replacement. Think its been more then 3 but need to see if I can find the receipt

Well, the rain didn't last long, so I ran up to wally world and picked up two. Ran back and all good. Called the guy up and he said he would meet me GREAT. Cut 3 hours off the trip

So I met them north of Lexington at a truck stop and made it back with a 120 and 140 HP motors, controls and harnesses. One is 25 inch and the other is 20 inch YEAH

Will post pics tomorrow

Ran compression test on the 140 and 3 cylinders are 110 psi and 1 is 105

Tried to do the 120 but no starter, so I'll pull one off the 105
