battery purchased has 950 ca and 750 cca
I found out the requirement is 950 cca for
trucks with heavy requirements(torque converter)
When I turn the key on to start(after waiting for diesel wait light), there is a click
but the motor will not turn over at all.
Is this possible if the battery is undersized?
