Thumbs up For More Information About Your Truck

If your truck falls under the category of the 1994-1998 Cummins you also need to be tracking threads in the 1998.5-2002 section of this board. With the exception of the fueling system the trucks are almost identical and most any question you have about your truck can be answered between the two area's. So it is in your best interest to track both areas to keep up with the most current and accurate information being put out about your projects. Feel free to ask questions in those sections also, just be sure to remind everybody that you are talking about the different year truck just in case your project does include some of those minor differences.

Usually with a no crank situition either you have got bad batteries or there is a bad volatge drop somewhere. Have you tried hooking a charge up to it and see if you can get it to start?

try unhooking the battery and letting it sit for a minute then try again, if that doesnt work a wire may be shorting out under the dash or even an ecm problem maybe check for codes
