In need of some help

Ok going to Oklahoma city at about 60 and my truck just dies and won't start. All electrical gauges work and everything else but it doesn't even turn over. Any ideas?

id start with the fuse box by making sure all the fuses are snug in their place. then id try to tap the starter a few times and see if itll turn over. im just trying to think of the most simple things...

A few Questions? What are you driving? How old is the battery? When it died, did you headlights work? If so, were they dim?

There are very few things that will just make a vehicle just up and die now a days. Your computer may have took a dump.

03 ford diesel 6.0. All lights are bright. Just won't turn over

Clicking when you turn it over??

I would check the starter. Make sure the power cable to it is still good. If so try beating on it with a hammer while someone turns the key. I have had this happen on other Fords. If it starts, you've got a bad starter.

I'm not sure that this would cause it to die though after it was already running, this is not my area of expertise.

Thought about that... But... it sounds like it died on him when he was driving.

Yeah, not sure how all that works stuff is tied in together. Its worth a try.

Found a diesel thread that said Crankshaft sensor caused similar problem

youre welcome.

Way to go Yancey!! Guess that was easier then beating on the starter

Yes... however. Fuses don't blow for no reason. Normally it a sign of a bigger problem. Not to be Debbie Downer, just saying.

true but cant a fuse just get old and expire of natural causes

lol, he is talking about me, he was trying to learn from the master but I wouldn't teach him any of my skills. ]

Your right about Bill Knight though Kelley, he is always around talking to people. I think he makes sure to try to meet everyone that buy a car, he is really a down to earth guy.
