    Ok so my truck has nearly 300000 miles on her and on somedays if I am on a long haul and drive for 6 or 7 hours and then shut her off for fuel or what ever reason. She will not crank at all when I try to start her up again. I hear 6 or 7 clicks come from under the hood and when I turn the key it is like the batteries are dead. I know they are not dead because usually after an hour or more sitting with the hood open she will crank right up with no assistance and if I can get rolling sooner I will jump start her or roll start her if I can. Any ideas. My company will not fix anything because everytime i put her in the shop she starts up just fine.

    my 2012 Cascadia had same problem. first I changed the solenoid (goes on top of the starter) and clicks -no turn disappeared but later after 3 mounts my started died. I know that all factory installed Cascadia starters are defective. go to dealer and buy a new starter. I think they have improved it now.

    Same with my '06 International with an ISX in it. Complete starter / solenoid replacement the best solution. Hard to convince a fleet shop to do it when it starts intermittently. Usually seems to take a total road call job to convince them of anything.
