M1009 Battery Issues

[Moejon0206]

I found the issue. There was a fusible link that the last owner had connected on the positive terminal bank (on the firewall) and was not attached to anything else. The loose end of it managed to be touching the negative terminal bank beneath. Once I removed this link, I was able to reconnect the batteries with no issues. After replacing the main charging wires, the truck starts and runs fine. Thank you all for your help!

Yeah!! Nice when things work like they should. We might have to give you a new "handle" with this truck... Maybe "Sherlock" ?

Thanks for getting back with the 'fix', it sucks when people leave you hanging and you never know if they got it fixed.
