Thanks man! Glad I could help!

[@extraplain]

I was looking into issues related to my batteries and starter, and your video showed up. Although this didn’t cover what I was looking for, you did a good job making the video. Short and sweet, and straight to the point. Subscribed!

[@BackFortyTV]

extraplain thank you! 🙏 hope you get it figured out!

[@ryanmitchell4266]

Dude! That's my issue. I couldn't figure out what it was but your jumper cable solution helped me identify it pronto. Saved me so much time and many headaches. Thank you so much for this video man

[@BackFortyTV]

Glad to help brotha! I just posted it to help others out and it’s crazy the response and how many folks have had the same issue! Just glad to help!

[@shamusmcgee7584]

Thanks for the video. Was chasing a charging issue on my 2005 Dodge 2500 until I watched your video. Cleaned both batteries terminals and problem solved.

[@BackFortyTV]

Glad it helped!

[@farmship]

Thanks Bud, solved my problem on 06 3500, wish I saw your video before I replaced the alternator but still saved me!

[@BackFortyTV]

Glad it helped! Sure wanted to save some folks some hassle!

[@markjackson6188]

Thank you sir for that video it's absolutely outstanding and it's exactly what's going on with my truck frustrating because I bought an alternator and two new batteries however I bought deep cycle batteries and I'm having that discharging issue as well where One battery charges and the other one doesn't and the meter gauge drops down

[@ivochicr1]

Thx for the video man! I was loosing my shit. Replaced 2 alternators and still my voltage was one day good 3 days below 10... That damn cable fixed it!

[@BackFortyTV]

sceptyczny hah! Glad I could help man! Thanks for checking it out!

[@miguelcampos2192]

On my way to get a alternator... turned around after seeing this video. Pray it works!!!

[@BackFortyTV]

I sure hope so! Let me know!

[@BackFortyTV]

Well. How’d it turn out?

[@miguelcampos2192]

Looks like I will be needing a new alternator after all :( won’t hold a charge. Turns on at about 11v.. once I start driving within 10-20 miles I start loosing Voltage fast..But your video is awesome , good information & straight to the point. Just sucks wasn’t able to use it ...

[@miguelcampos2192]

By the way. I asked a couple “friends” of mine to help me out with issue............ .......... .......... no response. .. So I get on KZbin, make a comment to a stranger. He reply’s to my comment & even checks up on me before I even reply!!!!!! Wow. Love brother! Prayers brother. Dint work but thanks for the help!!

[@BackFortyTV]

@@miguelcampos2192 Aw man I sure hate it wasn’t the issue! And sorry to hear that about your friends. I think we all have people like that in our lives. Mama just raised me a little different I guess. Hope it all goes well for ya bud. I’d have replied sooner, but I was trying to turn ground on the new dove field. God bless.

[@Atila237]

Thank you so much the jumper cable test trick helped save me so much time with my 6.7.

[@xxPittsburgh43xx]

Finally a simple video that worked. Thank you dude ur a savior lol

[@BackFortyTV]

Lol man I’m glad it worked! Once I figured it out I had to post the video.

[@Will_Brock]

Great idea using jumper cables to verify the crossover! That wasn’t my problem but it seems to mean it must be the alternator. Thanks, I went ahead and subscribed. Hope it grows for you.

[@BackFortyTV]

Dang man! Was really hoping that was it. I got lucky and it wasn’t my alternator! Good luck and thanks for the sub!

[@johnzacharie2866]

Awesome save the day!!! Short and sweet to the point.

[@BackFortyTV]

John Zacharie for sure! Thanks for watchin!

[@jaketryban8772]

I’m confused? Hook both ends of the positives to the positive terminals and see if it charges? I just did that and it didn’t charge. I suck with electrical shit. But I’m guessing that’s how you do it? I’ve got a 14 Cummins. Primary isn’t charging correctly

[@dannysmith9099]

Awesome video! Very helpful. thanks👍

[@BackFortyTV]

Glad to help. It had me stumped.

[@donaldcomeaux9454]

Thank you so very much for sharing.

[@ricky3395]

Brand new alternator and checked crossover still no power? Any help?

[@michaelpotter640]

Thanks for the video. Fixed my problem.

[@gregcousineau4431]

My 05 Cummins was doing the exact same thing. Boiled out the left battery even. But that simple connection was the problem.

[@BackFortyTV]

That’s crazy bro!

[@gregcousineau4431]

Also come to learn, the right side battery controls the electrical and charging system. So it was telling the alternator and regulator it needed more voltage. And that's how it boiled the left battery because of the loose connection. Thank you so much!

[@1pipepro]

Thanks handy tip to check before going spending money on parts that might not be needed.

[@BackFortyTV]

Miller Lincoln hope it helps!

[@chriscollison933]

I build Big 3 cable kits and they make your stereo sound better that’s how bad ass they are! All welding wire!

[@Ronsgonefishing]

I just had the exact same problem, and it was a batt clamp not quite tight enough ! time will tell now ,if this is also the cause of all my dash lights flashing, and tachometer, and speedometer flashing to zero and back again.

[@BackFortyTV]

Glad you got it fixed! I’m amazed by how many views this video has. I hope it’s helped a lot of people, because I couldn’t find anything on it.

[@Joeman57]

Thank you sir; Ill do this test and report back

[@BackFortyTV]

Looking forward to it. Hope it helps!

[@beldarconehead188]

Thank you bro!!

[@TheMajictech]

I’ve seen this many times, also corrosion in the crimp or down the crossover cable.

[@johnbritton7151]

I have a 2005 Dodge 2500 cummins turbo and I'm having an issue with mine, volt reading it is charging, but after sitting overnight batteries are down to the point it won't start, could I have the same issue as what you experienced?

[@BackFortyTV]

I’d start by checking/cleaning the connections on the jumper wire. Then if that doesn’t help, check to make sure nothing is draining them. If none of that works, have the batteries tested! Hope this helps, thanks for watching!

[@johnbritton7151]

@@BackFortyTV the jumper cable from the two batteries?

[@BackFortyTV]

@@johnbritton7151 yessir! When mine has a loose connection on one side or the other, mine will act like it’s dead batteries. Tighten up the one side and kicks right off.

[@johnbritton7151]

@@BackFortyTV Just checked the jumper cable, passenger side had a little bit of corrosion, cleaned it up, I guess later today I'll find out if that was the culprit, I have a love hate relationship with my truck lol, when running good I love it, when it's acting up like this I hate it lol, it's kinda like a woman 😂😂

[@BackFortyTV]

@@johnbritton7151 🤣 same with mine! My trans went out yesterday! Again! Second time in 8 months! 😂

[@trenton6388]

When I turn my key on to let the grid heater do it’s thing the fuel and battery gauge would always kick in and show the voltage and how much fuel I had and when I started the truck the gauges would stay where they was surpost to be. So I got in my truck other day and turned the key to let the grid heater do it’s thing and the battery and fuel gauge will not work. But here is where it gets weird when I start the truck the gauges kick in just fine like nothing was wrong. At the same time this started happening my CD player will not turn on but when you click the time button the time will show for a couple of second and go away. I can eject cds and my cigarette lighter quit working. Now my fuel gauge light on the cluster is dimmer than any other gauge. I had a scanner hooked up and the only thing that showed up is aps relay open cuirct. Turn out that is for adjustable pedals which my truck does not come with since it’s an slt model. In the fuse box there is a spot for the aps relay but no fuse and I don’t think that would have anything to do with my gauges. Got any ideal what could have caused this? All fuses are good and it runs great and gauges work once the truck is started.

[@BackFortyTV]

Trenton C now that’s a confusing issue. I would guess at either a bad ground on the body or maybe bad computer. But that’s purely speculation.

[@TheOGFatMan]

Hopefully this works got an identical Cummins just with aftermarket grill and bumper

[@BackFortyTV]

Good deal! I hope it helps bro!!!

[@jestes7]

Not my issue but thanks for the trouble shooting tip!
