i dont have a digital camer but its just a basic 2 pump 4 battery setup, do u think bad ground could make the batts get hella hot tho??

 

[HARDLUCK88]

yes

He needs a new ground I know that fore sure from the first time I looked at it, But I say its prolly you need those 31's and thicker cable, I know I need thicker cable. That is soon to come. Hey Evan you have an extra quickdisconnect from one of those kits you bought?
