They do not appear to be that inteligent…

Not a clue if it can absorb that, the fact you are getting a trans code prettymuch confirms a spike and it not being absorbed. This could be a diode breaking down in the rectifiers in the alt chassis...

Dedicated power systems might be a little overkill. The systems you are talking about powering are pretty robust, otherwise we would be discussung their failures here regularly, and we simply do not, despite all the alt and batt issues we see. There are other ways to do this also, Newmar makes...

Clean up the pitting on the disc and contacts, and it will probably be good for years...

Sure you were getting a complete circuit thru the coil? Getting them to energize when not fully installed is not always straightforward…

Well thats good news, sounds like everything is still functional with proper voltage applied. Based on your symptoms I suspect you will find a voltage drop with load, so you will have to figure out which, and loaded voltage tests at battery and power panel bolt heads will tell that tale. I...

That sounds normal. Remember the voltage you are seeing may be the result of a bad/high resistance connection or weak/bad batteries I mentioned earlier, which could be effecting how the controllers are operating… this is a common failure on these trucks, and the first one I had on mine. Turn...

Well if the transmission browned out, or is not receiving proper power, it would not give you a neutral start contact, so no crank(aux start and starter solenoid). on the starter there is a short lead that runs from the solenoid to the side of the motor housing. that is what is powering the...

The aux start solenoid provides the power to the starter solenoid. If it were stuck on, the solenoid would be powered and the starter would probably be engaged, cranking the engine. what does it say on the batteries, and how many do you have? 4 is way more than the truck needs and the little...

First off, K11 keeps the alternator offline untill 15 PSI of oil pressure is reached. The starter should be done cranking by then… the starter solenoid does 2 things, it engages the bendix AND it has high current contacts to power the starter motor. if it is spinning without being engaged, I...
