Replying to: okko1 (Jan 11, 2009 7:26 am) put a voltmeter on both batteries and they are in the neighborhood of 12 volts. Not sure on the output test but I think the answer is yes. A cable could be the culprit but would that explain no power to even the minor accessories, say if a terminal on only one battery was bad. The connections are all tight and appear to be free of corrosion. Thanks the help BTW Replies to this message: okko1 (Jan 12, 2009 4:00 am) sswheel (Jan 12, 2009 5:38 am)

Replying to: sswheel (Jan 11, 2009 9:03 am) most of the cables on that truck are a one piece that connects both batteries. it runs across the front on the radiator core support to the hot side on the passinger side from the drivers side. then down to the starter. there is also hot wire leads to the alternator and the solenoid on the fender. the voltage should be around 12.80 also 1 battery will usually support lights windows doors and things like that but won't crank the truck. check all the under hood fuses make sure you have voltage at the main power wire. this should be on the drivers side fender.

Replying to: okko1 (Jan 12, 2009 4:00 am) Thanks for the advice, I got it going, Just bought this and it is my first diesel so wasn't sure how the batteries were connected. I'd already checked the fuses. The battery terminals looked good but I took them all off and cleaned them up, more to eliminate that as a possibility. The passenger side terminals had some corrosion that could be seen only after they were disconnected. Once they were cleaned and put back on the problem was solved and the truck cranked and started normally. I guess what I'm hearing is that the batteries are connected in series and the corroded terminals on the passenger battery prevented anything on the truck from getting power. Thanks for the information. Learned a lot from this.

I've already sent you e-mail. I'm new in this thing in this club. Please, check the e-mail (looking for used brackets for my 2 external mirrors). They are full of corrosion. Thanks, Jesus Beltran Replies to this message: jesusb (Jan 22, 2009 9:41 am) okko1 (Jan 22, 2009 3:14 pm)

#1112 of 1181 F-250 Suspension Oscillation by Racerx_86 Jan 29, 2009 (8:02 am)
I have a 2008 F-250 Crew Cab with the towing package. It seems to have really unacceptable ride qualities. As you're driving along at highway speeds it seems to get into a (rear suspension) bouncing that will rattle your teeth. It seems that the onset occurs after going over a bump. Has anyone else run into the same issues??   Thanks, Replies to this message: jim00 (Feb 18, 2009 7:00 pm)
#1113 of 1181 will not start by nealj Feb 06, 2009 (12:55 pm)
89 F-250 with 5.8L will not start. Last year I lost power to the fuel pump so I hot-wired the pump from the fuse box. A few weeks ago the engine would rev up to 2500 rpm in park and neutral and would never come down until placed in gear. Now the engine will not start. Fuel pump is not the problem. Engine will start with starter fluid sprayed in intake. Any ideas on the problem? Replies to this message: ford_dude1 (Feb 06, 2009 2:02 pm) okko1 (Feb 06, 2009 2:14 pm) kcram (Feb 06, 2009 9:24 pm)

Replying to: nealj (Feb 06, 2009 12:55 pm) 95% chance its either the fuel injecctors or the fuel injecter module. im gonna say its the module. i would check that first. or it could be a simple fuel filter.
