I made an earlier post about an electrical problem that I am having wiith my 97 GMC 3500 Sierra, 6.5 turbo diesel. After spending several hundred dollars on it, the problem still exists. I appreciate all the posts and suggestions from others who had this problem. The truck will just quit running and won''t restart until it takes the notion. Then it wiill run for another couple hundred miles without a problem, then the same thing again.
I have noticed something though, that I didn't before. If I put a battery charger on the battery, it will restart immediately. The batteries are not weak, and the engine turns fine, but when it is acting up, it won't restart without the charger. Does anyone have any suggestons as to why this is happening? The cables have been cleaned. Could I have a weak place inside a cable that is not visible, that might cause this problem? That would be an easy fix, but are there other possible reasons? Please feel free to emal me at gcea@juno.com. Thanks.
