I have four different jump boxes made by NOCO, one in each vehicle.  The
smallest of which (1000 amp model) easily starts my 5.7 V8.  The larger one
(2000 amp) will start my 7.4 V8 from a dead battery in -10f weather.  They
hold their charge VERY well in storage.  I take them out and charge them
twice a year and have never had an issue using one to jump any vehicle I
have tried them on.  Smaller engines can be started several times on a
single charge.  These are not the cheapest, but they come up on sale on
Amazon several times a year.  I got one of the 1000 amp models for $45 on
sale last year.  Highly recommended.
