I got an answer for you from Interstate. The 1000A model can jump up to a 8.0 liter gas engine and a 4.0 liter diesel engine. How big is the engine in your duramax? I stand corrected on an earlier statement about the 1500A and 2000A models. If you have more than a 4.0L diesel engine, you'll need the 2000A jump starter. The higher amperages on the 2000A models are designed to produce a small amount of current for glow plugs (and other offline equipment) to heat up prior to the surge that a jump starter gives when turning over the engine. Hope that helps...AgEng06 said:Trek Strategy said:They can jump up to an 8.0L engine. One guy recently wrote that he jump started a sky track fork lift.AgEng06 said:
Sorry for the dumb question, but will that jump starter have enough power for my Duramax? It seems like when looking at other models the amp ratings don't translate exactly to diesels.
Thanks. Here's the source of my confusion:
This one is apparently 1500 amps, but it differentiates between the size of gas and diesel engines.

The Interstate product does not, so I'm not sure how to compare the two.
By the way, we already updated the product page on Amazon because of your suggestion, so thanks!
