Ok so I pull off to the service road because I was getting the check engine and gauges lights and buzzer.

Shut truck down and started going over it to make sure everything was ok.

Get back in and it won't start. Turn the switch and both battery gauges so in the yellow as normal but when you go to start nothing. Relays click gauges go off but nothing.

Thought it might be a battery issue again so I took the two batteries out of the 818 and put them in the het, same thing.

Any advice, help?

Current located in seguin tx off i10 east.

The -10 makes no mention of the gauge master warning or ddec warning causing a start inhibit. Reading the -20 now.

Ok, talked to freak and it ended up being the starter over heat issue. After waiting an hour it fired right up. He also mentioned that the warning light will start going off when the oil thins out so I'm going to pick up some oil to appease it.

We are golden now. Gotta love the ss community.

The -20 confirms that the gauges and ddec warning will not keep the starter from cranking. Troubleshooting focuses on loose wires on the engine switch, the neutral switch in the shifter, and the neutral relay in the doghouse.
