I didn't know the N-14 was available in 1989? Thought it was 1991 model year trucks

So I guess the OP is long gone but I am having the same issue as wel.
My motor is the ISX (2006) and mine as always chugged a bit when starting. I can let it idle all day and don’t have any issues shutting it off and then starting right back up. I can even drive her for a quick 20 minute trip and no issues. This is a hobby truck for me so I don’t have the repeated issues but drove about 2 hours today and this is when the issue started. Pulled into a lot and idled for 5 minutes, the fan automatically kicked on and then I parked. Went to move another 5 feet because I didn’t like the way I was parked and she wouldn’t start. Motor turned over and it sounded like a battery issue, which I know it isn’t. Waited about 10 minutes and she turned over more than originally but still not enough to fire. Waited 30 minutes and it started right up. -
I’m leaning towards a bad ground connection on the starter and that the heat is moving something creating a bad connection. My guess is that when it gets really really cold I might have the same issue just at a different time.
Anybody have any ideas or suggestions? -
You are on the right track. My guess would be starter itself, but that is after load testing batteries and checking ALL connections at starter and frame.
-
But why would the starter only give me fits after being warming up?
-
My issues ended up being a bad nuetral wire connecting the bank of batteries
