I think you need to push the boost override button on the NOCO to jump with no batteries attached.

[@FixItNick]

I tried pressing the red button couldn’t get it to do anything, however after reading up some more I found where it says I need to press it for 3 seconds to override it :) thx for the heads up

[@jonnyg44]

@Krypto Analyst whats better than the noco gb150

[@jonnyg44]

@Krypto Analyst ill have to buy one and try it out. Gb150 hasn't let me down yet though

[@Jin-Ro]

@Krypto Analyst Inclined to agree. I have a Noco 3.5 amp battery charger (G3500) and it's not that great to be honest, always getting fals positive readings on it. The dirt cheap charger I bought in 1988 is much better and more robust. Only bought the Noco because my motorbike had a lithium battery. Won't be buying Noco again.

[@alanluckystripesb3706]

No experience of the other two but the Audew usually needs to be disconnected then reconnected about 2 or 3 times before it will start the big engine. It's just the way the circuitry works.

[@QCTI1]

I have an Audew but I opened the boost box and hooked the relay looking connection direct so it doesn't break the connection while cranking and now I can power any 3500 diesel truck with it.

[@G55-j9z]

There's a lot of negative comments and some of them are right about reading the manual But one thing that was completely missed is that truck is a 7.3 diesel and the GB70 is meant for starting 8 litre Gas trucks and 6.0 litre Diesels, Not 7.3 L diesels that's where you need the GB150 which goes up to 10 Litre Gas or Diesels. based on these facts I did not expect any of them to start that 7.3.

[@GoatPirate420]

Looking for that comment finally!

[@jasonclark558]

The GB70 has started my 7.3L Superduty many times. When it detects a battery all the 4 lights flash and will go into jump.

[@phillipjordan5988]

You got to press the over-ride button on the noco

[@simonsays8935]

I have the NOCO GBX75 and according to the specs it is able to start diesel vehicles up to a 6.5L. It has started my son's 7.3L diesel several times easily with no sign of strain.. That's even without pressing the override button. Never even gave it a thought about needing to press the override button. Hook it up, press the power button, wait for the white light to turn on, you have 60 seconds to turn the key, turn the key to start and Bam. No hesitation. Starts right up.

[@virgiliodeleon5705]

You don't know how to use the device. The Noco GB 70 have a override button (red) exactly below the HD word on the front. It's send pure 12V corrient that starts that 7.3 powerstroke engine without battery 5 times. I did several times in same engine. Read user manual before do a wrong review of a product. The Noco GB 70 is the father of that's 2 others, but you need to know how to use it.

[@triplextreme2]

Before using the Manual Override feature, make sure the HD battery clamps are connected to the correct polarity battery terminals. To use the Manual Override feature, press and hold the Manual Override Button (a red exclamation point icon inside a red circle) for three (3) seconds. The White Boost LED will flash “On” and “Off” indicating you have successfully entered into Manual Override and it is ready to jump start your vehicle. If connected in reverse polarity, the Red Error LED will illuminate and the unit will not operate. I say give the Noco another chance it just might have a little extra to it.

The Noco GB70 has an override button which has been mentioned in other comments. Once you press the override the Noco will boost power and have more amperage to the truck. I have jumped several big block diesel trucks with the GB 70.

The Harbor Freight Viking 3400 amp jump pack saved my butt when my 7.3l powerstroke RV was dead due to a parasitic draw issue during winter. I walked to Harbor Freight, bought it, walked back, jumped it first try, and drove my RV home. Amazing product. 10/10. A bit heavy, but it doubles as a weapon I guess.

[@FixItNick]

Thanks man, no worries it doesn’t bother me, I tried it with boost button on and off after I found how it turns on, but it doesn’t give it more “boost” it simply turns on the jumper if there is 0 volts, otherwise if it doesn’t sense any volts it won’t send juice to the clamps

I find in dual battery setups you need to hook up to the positive on one battery and negative on the other and jump it using them both simultaneously. Works a lot better for me

[@jerryhartwig3318]

The ability to start an engine depends on the CCA rating. Your truck batteries are each rated at about 730 CCA. There is no correlation between peak amperage and CCA. Lithium batteries cannot be rated by CCA as they will not survive the GCI test - they will fry.

[@ShogunnxYT]

Im surprised here. I have a Jumtop which claims to have 2500peak and 1200 at crank. I see no reviews on it tho. I also got the Audew , mainly bcuz every review ive seen for Audew shows it kicking everything else arse. I also have the GB40, which is magic, for a few seconds. What's interesting is i have several shops who have the GB70 and compared to its size and build quality, it really doesnt FEEL as powerful. You could hold down the red button for a while and that will it force it to power on HOWEVER im not sure if that wouldve done much difference here. From all the ones ive used, the Noco isnt limiting how much power its using, its just smart enough to know a battery isnt connected, so it doesnt turn on the power. In the video, he was able to trick it to turn on, so that SHOULDVE been it. And when he took off the battery the lights on the GB70 were still scrolling, so it was still powering. And since the truck was able to even ATTEMPT to crank , with no batteries means it was the GB70 using its power. I dont know if this is another impressive feat for the Audew or a negative for the GB70. Also , most of the Audews that look like that one are actually 2000 amp peak with only 500 amp start. I begin to learn where these folks manipulate the wording. According to Noco, the GB40 delivers a whopping 1000amps "within seconds" of powering on. This wording SHOULD place it above everything here except the GB40. However, in most reviews the gb40 cant cut it, so i doubt its using 1000 amps. sorry for the rant, good video

[@td42dirtygq]

Do it agen with boost button for the gb70 all the way

[@FixItNick]

It won’t make any difference, boost only turns it on not actuAlly give it more power

[@deepdiscounts821]

Keep in mind that if you keep both batteries hooked up you'd probably have different results because they would still have SOME charge to help to booster box.

I have Audi A8 D3 with a 4.2 TDI engine, 326 HP. Recently my battery died, but due to the fact that I suspected problems with the electrics, instead of replacing the battery, I decided to buy NOCO 70.

[@FixItNick]

Thank you, the following day I tried it with boost button and results were the same

[@Kelleytechreviews]

I am pretty sure that because the truck runs on DC power removing the battery breaks the circuit. If you had a low or dead battery it could still run off the power the alternator is producing, because the circuit is still complete. Someone correct me if I am wrong. I just bought a NOCO GB150, 4k amps. hope it does better then the GB70...

[@FixItNick]

Yea that makes sense on the broken circuit part, so even if the battery is like 2V it should still have a connected circuit and the alternator should continue providing enough power for needed components

[@curt2742]

Did you ever get to try your GB 150?

[@solitarymessengeable]

The 7.3 "wait to start" light is the major cause of cold start failure on these models. The light goes out at around 8 or 10 seconds, if you listen closely you can hear the glow plug relay continues to run for another 15 seconds and clicks off. It sounds like an electric fuel pump running. Best fix? Turn on ignition, wait 30 seconds, start. Square biz.

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Just some info for you to think about 2100 peak amps only provides 440 cranking amps you have to take in consideration cranking amps are different then peak amps

[@MichaelJones-xp8kf]

Best bet for a sure jump start on your 7.3 diesel purchaces the jump carry 950 jump starter it will crank especially cold weather. My opinion that's the best jumper for diesels

[@chargermopar]

The jump starter I use when my 7.3 needs a jump is a 4KW portable generator with a 200 amp 12Vdc power supply. The engine shuts off when the voltage is low on the batteries because the alternator output has a lot of ripple which increases with load. The battery acts as a filter and a rippled voltage confuses the computer, causing the engine to shut down. I have had this happen with the Powerstokes, but it cannot happen with the IDI engines. They can run with almost no battery as long as the fuel solenoid stays energized.

[@BigB1974]

I am not a mechanic but I would think that disconnecting both batteries from that truck would somewhat mess up the computer so that it would have to relearn how to idle, and thus make it harder to start.

You need to get a better connection on the NOCO. If you press the manual override button it will force power out, if no lights come in cab you need to check the connection.

[@off-roadprojectsandfun6868]

The reason that the noco didn’t start the truck is because it doesn’t go above exactly 12 volts. It does actually have more amperage as advertised and 2000 amps is plenty to start the 7.3 but unlike the other two you tested, the noco doesn’t go above 12 volts. The other two probably have more voltage. If you had only 400 amps going to the engine, it would be plenty enough amperage as long as you had like 18 or more volts. My point is that the noco has the amperage it advertises but it doesn’t give out as much voltage so it is a good product. Also I have seen this same noco start that same truck in other videos. Other than that it was a good video.

[@ek8652]

Jeep’n With Friends your comment is very interesting. So are you saying that the cheaper Chinese jumpers can put out more than 12 volts? Because if that’s true it could be bad for the vehicles ECM it’s entire electrical system. Maybe the NOCO is designed to never go past 12volts?

[@TheFordf350superduty]

Hi great vid as always👍. The reason it stalls when the battery is disconnected basically the pcm regulates the voltage from the alternator and the alternator only keeps the batteries charged but can't keep up without a battery because of the idm takes 14v and converts it to 240v to fire the injector cylinoids and if the glow plugs are on and working the battery voltage at idle should be 11.9 to 13.1 depending on if it is a single or dual alternator setup and the glow plugs stay on up to 2 mins even after the wait to start light goes out

[@FixItNick]

But what if the battery was like 90% dead and got jumped it would still run you think?

[@TheFordf350superduty]

@@FixItNick yes it should because there isn't a sudden voltage drop like when you pull the terminals off of the battery and now that I think about it ford may have put a failsafe in so if a sudden voltage drop is detected it will shut down because if the idm is run on to low of a voltage it will burn up the electronic board

[@kristophertrout7328]

Computer ECU protection is why it shut off. Many alternators are computer controlled so if you disconnect it from your battery it will shut down to prevent damage to the ECU.

[@onefixitman]

Not true. He loses excitation voltage to the alternator and it lost the excitation field, therefore no voltage generation. In turn the injectors require 10.8 volts to fire so they shut down and it kills the engine.

[@markstolk2499]

[@FixItNick]

Josh Johnson nope, boost button does give more power it just activates the jumper if there is no battery power at all. In fact I tried it with boost button later and it did same amount of turns

[@FromMetayou]

The shorter the leads you can get away with is best becouse of voltage drop over longer lengths

[@brianelms9723]

The GB70 isn’t designed to jump a 7.3L diesel. You need the GB 150 or higher. Also, it does have a boost feature. Read the instructions.

[@hybridamericandude3575]

Something I’ve never tried and was interesting to see. Thanks for the video!

[@FixItNick]

I’m gonna Redo test with ew started in the 7.3

[@b.vo.]

Jnc air is a good jumper, but the air compressor is trash, literally. It broke after airing up 1 tire. I sent it back under warranty, and the brand new one died after 1 tire also.

[@FixItNick]

I been using compressor for couple years it’s fair

[@drevilatwork]

The big semi truck engines are around 15 litter. So if the 2000amp noco can not tlstart a 7.3 ford diesel, it's fair to asume that the biggest noco which is 4000amp will not start a big rig 18 wheeler engine

[@l3eaver]

You need to press the big RED “!” Button to boost with the Noco GB70

[@FixItNick]

Yup but boost does really provide more power it simply activates power to the clamps if there is no power from battery

[@TnTTyler]

The Audew has been tested in other videos to be a very good booster pack, no surprise it did the best here

[@d_no_allyn_86]

Why didn't you just try a couple more cranks on the genius boost.. 😑🤷🏻‍♂️ it would have done it.

[@weldontaft2525]

Your expectations are too high for these boosters on such a large engine

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

2000 peak amp will crank well

[@TheEchelon]

Peak amp doesn't say anything... It never comes close to that. The actual cranking/starting amps is the important spec.

[@davidplourde6083]

The fuel shut down solenoid activates when there is no power supplied to the vehicle by battery. That's why the engine died with the 73 diesel engines, as well as with other diesels you must have power from the battery to keep the fuel shut down solenoid valve open.

[@FixItNick]

Yea makes sense

[@devonnader6883]

Thanks man a great video. It did help me a lot. Thanks for your time appreciated .

[@kctyphoon]

“Actual Amps” is always about half of what the “Peak Amp” rating is.. Peak Amps is just marketing.. For the record - the compression in a 7.3 powerstroke is like 17.5 to 1.. hence the dual battery setup to begin with. They also need to hit a min rpm I believe and oil pressure on the high pressure oil system for the injectors to even be “allowed” to start.

[@FixItNick]

Haha I tried to find boost button in manual but missed it, after the video I did find boost button instructions and tried jumping the truck again and boost button had no improvement. The reason for the boost button is to provide power to the truck when there is 0 volts present.

[@SalivatingSteve]

FixItNick the truth is that none of the lithium jumpers can actually deliver 1000 amps because the cables are not thick enough. The most they can deliver is about 350 amps in the real world.

[@jjmmcc01]

Hi FixitNick, you are correct the jumper units electronics require some voltage from the battery to determine the polarity of the connection to the battery. The boost function ignores battery polarity .

[@mathewharrison]

Over ride is for when the battery is under 2 volts

[@derekgaylard8668]

You didn't press boost button on genius

[@ManthatsCool100]

that audew would have been enough to start that engine, even a dead batter will have 12 volts , but you have to have a constant 12 volts at all times your also supplying not only power to the ecm but the coil and all the other electricals

[@joejohnson2478]

The Audew comes in 2000amp size and it is in my opinion that had you used that one the engine would have turned over!

[@CysMix1]

My 750 amp jump box from harbor freight has jumped my 7.3 multiple times. You dont need any that big or that many amps

[@FixItNick]

But can it do it without any batteries connected?

[@joshbigman1745]

Maybe the alternator does not provide enough Amps on its own?

[@FixItNick]

Alternators provide volts to charge the batteries a over 14 volts it’s where it should be to charge batteries while driving, but I think it’s because I broke the circuit engine wasn’t getting power from alternator

[@ВасилийВасильев-э9н]

I think maybe at the time of disconnection there was a jump voltage above 16 volts and triggered the shutdown of electronics. In the future, it is better to turn on the lights and heater to smooth the voltage surges when the battery is turned off. (Sorry for my english)

[@troyrodrigue6172]

push the boost override button on the NOCO to jump with no batteries

[@thetechhelper2760]

I had to jump a Cummins 6.7 at work and it took 2 jump packs!
