12.7 detroit MAJOR PROBLEM -NEED ASSISTANCE TROUBLESHOOTING

Lmao...U GUYS R HILARIOUS....GLAD IM A TRUCKER N HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOR N THICK SKIN...OTHERWISE ILL HAVE DOUBLEBARREL POINTED OVER MY FARHEAD FULLY LOADED! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK ....VERY 3NTERTAINING!

 

Just took my 379 with an N14 cummins in to be on the ecm reader and run other tests. It would die and the only way to get it running again was to unhook the batteries and then rehook them. That was supposed to clear any codes so the engine could restart. While hooking up the ecm, they found a couple corroded connection with they had to actually replace the connectors rather than just clean them. A new position sensor, a seonsor of some kind ont he throttle and one in the intake manifold and all is well.

Point being, you mention you are in a rainy, perhaps humid area. Connectors can corrode in those conditions and cause all kinds of issues. I am in a high rain falla aea near portland Oregon.

 

Im going get my battery's n charge em.today so by tues or weds I should KNO if its more than that.If she don't crank on her own after fully being charged with no starter fluid,then I'll make that call to my mechanic,only reason I sprayed a Lil fluid was because I thought she would crank up n sort of zro out my problem,LOL but hey PLAYERS MESS UP FROM TIME TO TIME .....WE HUMAN!

 

I'd replace the starter too. Just my 2 cents.

 

When you turn the key, does the dash light up?

 

Got a new one on DA way...its way overdue...its not a good feeling being stuck at a shipper n can't get out DA loading dock because u forgot to change a $100 part lol

 

Yep sure do...last time I was over there and was trying to start it ..when I went to unhook my battery's the DA. DANM battery cables were to hot to touch....so like I said its dealing with the starter n battery's as far as I can tell....wen I kept tapping DA starter it would start it ,without tapping it ..it wouldnt turn over unless I kept hitting...so I figured DA solenoid is bad.

 

Did you get it fixed?

 

No not yet been kind of busy,going get batteries the weekend

 

UPDATE: So far after charging up my batteries today here's what I have out of 4 batteries,3 are good previously bought those so that's money saved in my pocket my other batteries are registering above 13.63 with my voltage meter the bad battery is reading 11.31 on the meter so Monday going get a new battery the wholesaler I get em from is closed for the weekend.That takes care of the voltage part after I get new battery and install I'll see if I still here that clacking sound hopefully not and hopefully shell start right back up and make daddy pproud LOL thanks to all who providing input and assistance.
