Hello all, I have an 02 powerstroke that wont turn over. There is no clicking or the drive engaging. I put a new starter in last summer and the drive has been giving me problem engaging but now im getting nothing. I have good batteries and just looking for some advice. I finally got the truck into my shop today and i hopping to get into looking at it this afternoon.

Did you get your truck fixed? I too have the same problem - 02 PS, new starter less than a year ago. What started out as an issue that only happend once in a while now happens every week. I let the glow plugs heat up, the try to start the engine, but nothing happens - no sounds, no clicking, no nothing. Sometimes if I try again, it will fire right up. Other times, I can't get it to start at all until I plug it in for an hour or so. Once it starts, I have no problems the rest of the day.

The truck has been at the dealers 4 times in t he last 10 weeks and they can find nothing wrong. Were you able to solve your problem?
