    I am running a 2012 international have had it in the shop multiple times, only for it to come out with a new issue. The most recent has been a big p.i.t.a. I havE to start the truck every hour to keep the brand new batteries from dying. Nothing is plugged in I can't even keep my laptop plugged in.can anyone plz advise on hire to fix the problem other than turn it back in? As much add I love that idea my credit doesn't. Souter for misspells on a cell that doesn't wanna work right either

    MaxxFARCE was a mistake. Google "help battery drain" or look on youtube. You can use a test light or multimeter and pull fuses and find out what the issue is. 1 hour seems like a HUGE drain, something is wrong. You should probably have the dealer look at it.

    Like freightliner man said, there is something wrong that needs to go to the shop to have looked at. Sounds like you are frustrated with the problems and want to avoid the shop. I totally understand, but there isn't much you can do at the side of the road for something like this. Even if you have a laptop, watching tv and a fridge running your batteries should take 12 hours or more to run down enough to cause a no start. If you are not familiar with electricity and working safely with batteries I wouldn't perform any diagnostics yourself.
