    I have a fleet of 2007 International 9400I's and I recently added a 2006 to it. This truck sat quite a bit, has lower miles. I keep having trouble with the gauges in the dash. First off, I keep blowing the Qualcomm ignition feed. As soon as you put the fuse in, it just blows it. I have the qualcomm completely disconnected in the sidebox, so I'm unsure what is going on. So I have had this truck to a good shop and they thought it was fixed but it's doing it again. This truck has already fried one cluster and I would hate for it to happen again. What happens is sometimes it works fine but other days the gauges will peg to 6:00 and some of them act like they are stuck. The dash will read no datalink. I know these have problems at the wiring harness where it goes over the motor but would really hate to dig in unless I really think that is the problem. Do you have any advice Heavy D or anyone else, I could sure use some. Thanks

    Seem to recall that when the gauges go to the 6 o'clock position that indicates the gauge has lost communication. Could be directly related your loss of datalink.

    For sure sounds like you have a datalink problem to the cluster. Qualcomms get wired into the datalink, so it could be involved. I have seen a few times were the antenna dish is removed from the outside and the harness is simply cut leaving the wiring exposed which will corrode and cause shorts in ignition feeds and datalinks.
    Lots of information in this other thread I have posted in before. Try this;
