ive replaced negative ground cable to frame and cleaned frame to bare metal. maybe I'm missing a ground? the unit will not start with jump pack hooked to battery and cables on unit. remove battery and only jump pack it starts. tried isolating battery from unit and still no luck.

Almost every time that I have seen this it has been a bad negative cable connection on the truck frame. Also, I don't trust a simple battery voltage check. Have you done an actual load test on the battery?
