how's your metal fab / welding skills? can you pie cut? sure you can get a junk yard turbo build. run a bunch of boost until the engine melts itself together. with any forced induction. it's not as simple as just slapping on a turbo to your existing engine.

Oh some sort of pusher set up. I thought you were going all electrical, and questioning why. Hah I think the principal is some air flow is better then no air flow in the pusher set ups. They do work though. There's examples out there.... Not really reinventing the wheel sorta speak.

best to go off watt, or Kw for power needs. 24v at 60 amp is only 1440 watts. 24v at 200 amp is 4800 watt. half tons usually have 160ish amps at 12v, and 3/4 ton is 185 amp @ 12 volt. my 18' ram has two of the 185 amp 12 volt alternators, which is less power then the 200 amp 24volt alternator in...

That'll get rid of the squat... What's your dedicated tow rig?

Bill Cosby in a can ain't that bad! Just don't let it touch a hot glow plug...

This. A truck won't start if it doesn't have fuel in the first place. You should have heavy puffs of gray/white smoke while the engine cranks over. Might take the tail end of 30 seconds to be noticeable, but let the starter cool down then go back cranking it. You should see unburnt diesel smoke...

don't freak him out. let him cross that bridge when he gets it running.

No smoke? You're not cranking long enough... Or you don't have fuel. Which is another issue

My hmmwv came from Irwin. It had the normal MT on one axle, and baja's on the other. I guess that's all they could get? Never seen that in big army, but then again I wasn't looking at the hmmwv tires much...
