I converted my deuce to 12 volt. I converted it because everything that I use the truck for needs 12 volt power. I have several civi trailers and an RV/toyhauler that I pull with my truck. Not to mention all of my creature features that I have installed. It only cost me 350.00 to do the complete conversion which is super easy to do. 12 volt starters for these trucks are easy to find. It is a very common heavy equipment starter. It is not an "odd ball ". Fact: the stock 24 volt starters that are in the trucks are actually inferior starters. No matter where I am at now, I can repair my electrical system locally. I live in Ga. But, from time to time it does get below zero here in the winter. The truck starts with no problem. I have never even used the starting aids. The only reason that the military uses 24 volts is for uniformity. They can jump anything from anything.
