I jumped a dead (real dead) Duramax with a GB40 I'd bought as a gimmick a while back and that sold me on the tech. It wasn't happy about it (way undersized for the job), but it worked. Now rocking a GB150. Easy to use, don't have to drag things close enough to run jumper cables, built in voltmeter, keeps a charge forever, etc. Jumping cars is fun now.
