Consumer Description

OUR TRUCK STARTED GIVING US CRANKING ISSUES. IT WOULD TURN OVER CRANK AND IMMEDIATELY DIE. WE WOULD KEEP TRYING AND EVENTUALLY START. AT TIMES IT WOULDNT START. WE WOULD CALL A WRECKER TO GET IT TOWED TO MECHANIC. AFTER IT WOULD SIT WAITING ON WRECKER IT WOULD CRANK. FINALLY AFTER FIGHTING WITH THIS FOR 1 YEAR IT HAS BEEN DEAD FOR THE PAST 3 MONTHS. I HAVE BROUGHT IT TO DEALER AND THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE IT. IT HAS BEEN AT ANOTHER MECHANIC AND HE HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO DIAGNOSE EITHER.
