Does anyone know of a good portable battery system jumper for a 1994 Ford
F-250 7.3L Turbo Diesel with two batteries (not sure if they're duel or parallel, or
what the difference is)?

NOCO GB500+ 6050 amp battery boost. But good luck finding one as they are very popular.

Hi there. The GB500 at 6050 amp boost sounds good, but it does cost nearly $2,000. What about the GBX155 - up to 10.0L gasoline engines, up to 8.0L diesel engines (up to 4250 amps of boost). Would it get me by, cause it's under $400? I was thinking about just carrying an extra fully charged battery with me, but that's just giving me 850 amps, and that's not going to get it done.
It might, but remember you trying to boost two batteries, if both are stone cold it will take a lot of amps to get it to crank up.
