    Mobile local mechanic said it's the starter. He didn't have a computer to hook it up to my truck,and insisted that it's the starter.

    You don't need a computer to check a starter....a simple multi meter will do. Hell a spare headlight and 2 pieces of wire will check a starter

    Get a second opinion. Seriously.

    I have yet to see a starter that is interconnected with the J1939 network.

    That's what I told the mechanic. He wants to get paid for installing the starter,rather if its the solution or not.
