    I have a 2006 Freightliner Century Class, Detroit 60 series. All gages are going crazy and the engine won’t start. If anybody had similar problems please respond. The truck is in Kingman, Arizona loaded with produce. I am waiting for mechanic shops to open. Thx

    Ive seen low batteries do what you are describing. Jump it off and go from there.

    I would suspect a low-voltage situation .. bad battery(s), or bad voltage regulator messing with the electronics.

    Has this Happen to 06 ISX.
    Would not start just kept cranking with rpm and speedo going crazy.
    Found it to be bad ground connection on inside frame rail by starter. Was a KW T 800. Clean up all grounds then try to start it!
