    I have installed a connection at the front and rear of the truck for doing jump starts and I use the rear to connect the trailer battery to the truck's battery and charging system

    Have used the same setup on the 1995 F250, the 2002 F250 and currently on the 2008 F350
    Never had a problem with alternators
    Yeah I misread that part, I was running my winch directly off pickup battery and no battery on the trailer, while pickup was running, bad idea. Since I got a semi battery, I usually don't need to charge it in between winching sessions. I flip on my constant duty solenoid while going down the road and it charges up in no time flat.
