Thank U thank U. Loose terminals was my problem but I was stressing. I had taken my batteries and had them recharged because I had left my lights on and was gone 3 days. I may not had tightened the terminals enough. So after a hour of trying to jump, I remembered U saying check the terminal and I did and they were loose. And boom it started. Thanks for making this video. Much continued Peace Blessings and Success.

Crazy this just happened to me last night, the bolts were loose and needed to be tightened. The truck would not turn over.

Get a wire brush clean all the wires ever the kill switch that’s where the main problem be at

[@josechirino3645]

Diconet the batery before you mess with the started.

If you need to jump your truck which battery of the 4 do you put the + - cables?

[@truckingpaysthebills5394]

Any of the 4, + to + and - to - make sure to clean the terminal if they have dirt or rust. Some battery terminals will have a protective substance on it. You don't have to clean it off. You can put on your cables and charge with no issues.

[@itsmitchnewton7670]

@@truckingpaysthebills5394 that worked, thanks!

[@1kwilliam-rv1mo]

What could it be if I had to keep trying to jump my truck then it finally start & cuts off while driving now ?

[@3406eJB]

That’s more than likely fuel issue

[@truckingpaysthebills5394]

You have a wire problem. Might be a ground wire.Had that happened to me a few times throughout my career

[@Bigdreams-vl3eu]

Hello sir i parked one night in Chicago in snow was cold I thought its a battery i changed all the batteries we tested them said good still same problem i turned off all the electric in the truck still same problem 😭😭😔😭

[@truckingpaysthebills5394]

Hi driver, check your fuel filter make sure its not clogged, there is a drain valve on your fuel filter open it to let a little fuel run out.sometimes you might need to open the cap on top of the glass bowl to introduce preasure into the system to make the fuel run out..make sure your fuel is not gelled up in your lines. Check your starter. Try topping on it while trying to start it at the same time. You will need 2 people for that. Also check your alternator, it doesn't happen after but the cold weather can cause it not to work sometimes.

My battery gauge says 11.5 but on the tester it says 12.6 I have some bad positive cables and the truck doesn’t wanna start or crank for that long.

[@truckingpaysthebills5394]

Your batteries need to be more than 12.6

[@lashonda715]

Why did my gauges stop cycling on my 2014 international prostar star please?

[@truckingpaysthebills5394]

Check your ground and power supply also infront the passenger seat is the fuse box pull the cover off and look on the cover for any information related to gauge relay and fuse location. If you find any swap them out and see if that helps. Also you could be having wire issues.

[@JuanHernandez-yr7cv]

Thank you my friend today I learned something if I leave my truck for some many days off my battery drain. But what I can do to not drain?

[@truckingpaysthebills5394]

You need to plug everything out if you going away for a long time, lights, refrigerator, dash camera, usb with back light and even power inverters. If your batteries are old the above things can drain them over time. If you dont think nothing was draining them then you should get them tested.

[@JuanHernandez-yr7cv]

Thank you very much brother I have to do something.

[@SurprisedHummingBird-mg3kw]

My truck saying low air and it won’t turn over

[@truckingpaysthebills5394]

Low air means you have a slow leak somewhere. If you park for a long time it's normal to have some leakage but if your truck won't start you might just need a jump start. Depending on where you are if it's really cold and your batteries are not healthy they may have different turning over the truck.

[@Dailyvibemusic_zw]

We push the truck and it starts but, nothing that needs power was working

[@truckingpaysthebills5394]

Check your fuse, relays, and wires.

[@kouper76]

I took my fuel filter off and filled it up

[@vincentdelrosario4170]
