Question:
I just purchased a 2022 Chevy 2500 with the 6.6L Diesel engine. I’d like to flat tow it behind my motor home. The supplemental braking is with a Roadmaster 9160, so no power is needed. I do need to disconnect the positive side of the battery the truck has 2 batteries. What will work?

Expert Reply:
The Roadmaster Automatic Battery Disconnect part # RM-766 cannot be used on a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 Diesel. The cranking amps of the battery are too high and it will fry the solenoid. The only option you have is to manually disconnect the batteries. I have attached a list of parts below as well for your viewing.
Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit part # RM98VR
Roadmaster Nighthawk Tow Bar part # RM-676
Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit part # RM-154
