Computers at work has been crashing faster then I can fix them and now this with the Transtar last night. I'm almost 75% completed with the all the computer issues except for the server but the Transtar is bugging me so my head is not in the right place to be working on computers until the Transtar is right again.
Here is what happening, also posted it on the SDC Tech site!
Coming home from a local Steak House last night, I just started the engine and let it idle for a little while then put my lights on and backed out and pull on to US 19 (death trap). Just as I got on to 19 the truck went dead electrical wise. Head lights went out engine stop running so I coast to the side of the road and push the truck to the next available road. I tried to start it again with the lights off and it was dead. So I sat for a few minutes looking for my AAA card to call them and found it in my wallet. I thought before I call I'm going to try it one more time. And the truck started right up! Then I got a little braver and turn on the lights (got to have light to drive home at night you know) and everything seem fine again. So I drove it a few miles down the road to home with out any problems. This morning the Transtar started right up like nothing ever happen. I hate it when something like this happens because now it is impossible to trouble shoot. If it isn't broken you can fix it. . . any suggestion. . . everything in the electrical system is new from the restore job a few years ago including wiring harness, alternator, and just last year I replace the voltages regular again. Even the switch is only a couple years old. I know Jim Turner is going to say it a ground?
Planning to drive it to Savannah and Atlanta in a few weeks so I want to find the problem before then and get it fix! All ideas are appreciated
