    Hi I have a 2014 international 4300 box truck. I went on vacation for 2 weeks and now it’s completely dead. I don’t know what type of charger I need for it. It seem that it needs to be started everyday to keep it from having problems. Do any one know what type of charger I need?

    Any 12v charger will do.
    either your batteries are bad or you have a parasitic drain from something staying on.

    Brought a 12v charger, the truck is turning but want start. This happened a couple of weeks ago I got it towed to the international shop. I was told it was just a fuse that was loose.

    Check the fuses in the battery box. Pull them out and inspect the terminals to make sure they aren’t spread. Also disconnect the weather pack connector the fuses go to along with the ground weather pack connector at the batteries for spread or melted terminals. There’s also a couple connectors close to the starter that can have the same issues.
