1000 Farad seems marginal- I use six of the 3000 Farad ultracaps to crank my F250 with the 6.9 diesel, and if leaps to life better than it ever did on a battery alone.
Good thing is, with an Anderson connector on the box o caps, it can live daily life unloading the battery of your daily driver, and also be fully charged any time you want to crank up the truck.
