    Don't pay any one or any place advertising the lottery. It is free , if you don't have the correct details I can send them to you.

    Pablo, come on here in USA. Open your own shop and after a few years if the money didn't change you in a bad way. You will have the the most trusted truck shop in the country.

    That's the correct one.
    When you take the photo don't wear a black mask or a Taliban beard , I don't think it will help.

    Flush all these Freightliner POS down the drain. Freightliners use to be some what dependable.Now with all this multiplex wiring,priority switches , C.A.N units(Controller Area Network) Up to 13 on most Cascadias,It is hard to tell what is wrong without connecting to a SBT (Service Bay Tool).It is always best to start with the point of power.Check all Batteries.Check all connections on batteries make sure they are clean.Put NYK corrision preventative grease on each terminal. Perform Battery drops using the proper equipment. Next check the amp draws across all power cables between starter and batteries. Make sure all connections are tight.Don't forget to check the grounds.Sometimes grounds are overlooked.Check all fuses for corrosion on the terminals. Freightliner also use to have fuses in the battery box on Columbia units.Now upon check all connections real good.The next issue I found with Freightliners was this.Where they routed the wires in flexloom they sometimes rubbed the wires and the coating.This would cause a truck to shudder and shut off.If this is the case you will have fun finding it. It just takes patience. Always Check all relays..Check that they have the proper number of powered and ground leads. Also that the switching lead is functioning properly. I could go on all day.Here is some tools that you must have though.LED test light with both battery and ground clamps. This is so you can check both hot and ground connections at once. Timing light for a car.Cheap is fine.You can use it to check injector pulse through the electrical harness.It works better on CAT engines but can be used on DD15.Good high quality Multi Meter I prefer fluke. Remember some electrical wiring on a truck generates AC voltage.

    Check all your grounds mounted to the mega ground junction block (on firewall, under the pndb) the grounds like to become loose and cause headaches

    I am having same issue. Took truck to shop and they said there are no fault codes. Truck turned of 3 times on a 5k mile trip. Everything turns off on mine, engine, lights and steering is even locking.

    Jerk of a service writer actually asked if driver intentionally turned off the truck @ 70 mph.

    Virtual technician shows no event codes.
