I’m going to grab some Everstart Maxx battery’s and clampnthe terminals good and snug and see how that works before I do new cables I doubt new cables are necessary yet.

Buy it adjust bands new filter and fluid and if it’s done swapin a 5 speed...

I found the issue with the no start no lights deal. The positive driver battery terminal was vibrating loose and losing power to PDC. It also had a hole in the battery terminal caused by corrosion and arcing. I’m getting new battery’s this weekend and maybe ordering new cables not sure yet.

Currently nothing is happening out of the ordinary we will see what happens in the near future. I did repair a frayed fuel pump power wire that could have been causing it.

Extended.

Thats pretty good! Maintence pays off.

I took a closer lookat my PDC power lead and it appears that theyre could be more corrosion inside the cable. Where can i get a new one or must i custom make a wire?

I found a possible contrbution to the issue that i fixed last night. The main power lead for the Fass fuel pump was frayed and coming apart at the end where it connects with the battery. i replaced the connector and heat shrinked it to prevent corrosion. This could very easily be the issue i imagine.

We will see if it continues. Which of the above would happen intermittently?

I pulled my battery cables last night and took a coarse wire brush to them and got real rough. I pulled the positive lead lugs apart and thoroughly brushed them and reclamped them tight. So far it still hasn’t done it again but time will tell. I did notice that rot and arcing has burned a pinhole into the terminal. Gotta grab new batteries soon. Getting ready to go start her up and it’s 10F out.

Nope

It’s intermittent. Hat what worries me. It started like a champ his morning but after I drove to lunch it started slow.

It does it cold as well.

Absolutely. But it does it after I have driven it and coolant temp has risen. It also did a little loping at one point.

It was 10 degrees here this morning but it cranks just as fast as before just takes longer to fire?

Developed a new issue. Usually my truck will start with half a revolution. It has started taking 4 sometimes more to start. What’s going on? No codes truck runs good. Good fuel pressure.

I do plan to lower tire size once I have the axles swapped.

I don’t tow very often which is why I’m swapping in a set of 3:54s. I’m MPG and lower RPM hungry lol. I think the lower gear ratio with the 6 speed will be top notch.

Yes it did. EGTs stayed under 1200F . ‘Twas a bit laggy but that is due to my setup.

Might be your Crankshaft Position Sensor or Cam Sensor depending on your year. Mine was doing the RPM jump under load and threw a P0336. Heres the article for noise testing. Super easy to do.

Well all checked out and I cleaned the cables thoroughly and the issue still hasn’t returned. I drove 600 miles this past weekend and truck ran well!

Thank you mike. I’ll attend to that this afternoon. I’m headed to Washington this evening on a 5hr drive so hopefully all goes well.

Like a big load!

I say just replace the darn thing. It’s not hat hard. Geno’s Garage has a easy step by step guide.
