We'll my year is starting poorly. Sitting on the side of m6 with a no start. Aaa has a 2 hour backlog thank goodness I keep warm stuff in the truck

Question is does anyone in the Grand Rapids area have autoenginuiry software I can borrow to figure this out. If not I am going to have to order it another $350 dollars for Christmas
Please pm me if you do

Thanks
Bill

Yeah just driving along and it dies. No codes nothing. Then I get it started and it dies again. Waiting on aaa tell me I am a priority but they are thinking they will be here befor 5:45.
Yes I have a 6.0 and I am thinking FICM or injector. Icon is good. All other parameters look good. New batteries and alternator last ones died in this cold. Just need to get it home and warmed up

I do t know maybe but it would be weird. I was driving around this morning ok and was just getting on the highway. Who knows I will get it home and check that stuff out. I appreciate the offer. I may take you up on you or mikes barn to thaw out if that is the case

Well got the truck home. started the no start list and checked for fuel in the fuel bowl and good to go got the heater on the fuel tank and she started right up. i think this is going to end up a fuel issue. I filled up at the miejer quick stop on 44th yesterday. i am going to get some Diesel 911 and leave it in the garage for a while and see if this clears up.
I am still looking for someone to help me test it with autoenginuity if it is available.

thank god for AAA great service to have when you need it.

I have the AE software. You are welcome to use it. Shoot me a PM and we can get together.

Sorry I did not see any of this, for some reason I wasn't getting email notification last night.

Happy Saturday......I don't want to be at work....

When the hits come they don't stop....Been down and out since Friday, followed up with dead batteries yesterday morning.


The quick tip of the day is "don't wire accessory wires through the handle that holds the battery." would've went a lot smoother on replacing, and an extra trip to the store locating pieces.
