Well, every day is a schoolday! Strange setup, why does work in series rather than just using both 12vs in parallel? I would have assumed that double the cranking current capacity would be just as good as double the voltage?

No idea. Think it has something to do with cold starting that it benefits from having the two batteries rather than one.

+10 internets to anyone who can guess an alternative culprit? All will be revealed later today!

EGR cooler?

Transmission oil warmer in the engine radiator split letting engine coolant into the Transmission

Rear compartment heater connector pipe leaking coolant under the floor and dripping onto the exhaust where it is immediately evaporated?

The classic, the famous, the beloved... heater matrix. Take the Red Coolant, or the Blue Coolant...

Might allow narrower gauge wires and/or higher current same as modern cars going to 48V architectures?
