My truck is totally dead, brand new battery,?
clean cables/terminals and zero power, not even interior lights come on. I think it maybe the negative ground, but cannot locate the other end of the cable. Does anyone have a schematic?
How should you charge a diesel truck with completely dead batteries?
The best course of action would be to remove the batteries and take them in for a slow charge and performance test.However, you can jump it then take the truck in to have the batteries and alternator tested.Place your jumper cables on the passenger side battery in this model. Leave your jumping vehicle connected and running for 5 minutes with all of its accessories off. Then start the truck and take it in.The alternator will experience a high loading during this time. They are designed to handle occasional high loads like this, but don't make a habit of it. It is very hard on the batteries and the alternator.If the batteries do test bad, don't be terribly surprised and don't buy cheap replacements. The ISB Cummins has high electrical demands on startup including the intake heater grid and starting motor. You want good batteries on this model.In addition, clean terminals and good connections are crucial. This model has the alternator feed go to the passenger battery, but the ECM, which controls alternator output on your truck, references the drivers battery. Poor connections can result in the alternator overcharging the passenger battery.
Why does my car stall when I'm idling at a stop light?
First off, this question is basic enough that you might want to consider taking it to a local mechanic who is familiar with your type of car. But if you instead want to learn more about your car at the risk of spending on wrong parts and breaking something - then I will say that a car engine requires three things to work (and you will hear this over and over): fuel, air and spark. All the many components in the engine are just to regulate how much of each of these goes into the combustion/power cycle of the engine and to try to reduce the unwanted emissions from this process.In your case, you likely have an issue with the ratio of air/oxygen to fuel. It sounds like the car starts and runs fine but when you stop, it is not able to keep the air/fuel mixture correct at the engine's idle speed.There are many components which might cause this and if you have a car that was produced after 2000, you likely have an onboard computer which tracks many sensors to try to warn you of issues. You might want to take your car to a shop who can run the computer's diagnostics and see if the computer can see any issues with a specific part of your engine. From there you can try to narrow down which subsystem is having an issue. It could be many things but some of the most common is that cracks or lose connections in the air circulation systems is causing the air ratio to be off or an issue with your fuel subsystem is causing too little or too much fuel to reach the cylinders for the combustion/power cycle.Hope some of that helps, with more info on the type of car you have some here might be able to point you to more information you can read to learn more. I will say that just like learning to repair computers, learning to repair cars will require dedication and time to learn many things.good luck.
A 2500 kg car travelling at 20m/s crashes into a 6000kg truck that is originally at rest. What is the speed of the truck after the collision, if the car comes to rest at the point of impact (neglect the effect of friction)?
This is a good example of the conservation of momentum. Since we know that the value of momentum is going to remain the same throughout the problem, it really comes down to understanding how to compose the equation.We know by definition that momentum (P) is mass × velocity.In the problem given, you have 2 values for mass, and 1 value for velocity. We're trying to find the second velocity value.Because of the conservation of momentum, we know that P=m1×v1, AND the same P=m2×v2.Therefore we can write for P that m1×v1=m2×v2.You have 3 of the four values you need to solve this equation--just use algebra to isolate your second velocity.
Why does my car shut off completely when at a stop sign?
I’m betting on a vacuum leak. When you finally decide to take it to a shop instead of throwing random parts on it, they’ll hook up a diagnostic tool and check fuel trims. If the fuel trims are very high, they’ll check for vacuum leaks around your intake manifold and throttle body tube after the mass air flow sensor.you might be able to diagnose a vacuum leak yourself with some carb cleaner. When the engine is running, spray carb clean around all your intake gaskets and connections after the mass air sensor. If the engine revs up while you’re spraying, you’ve found the leak.If not a vac leak, then there are other things which could cause this but again, without a diagnostic tool, it’s almost impossible to guess.
What does it mean when the engine is seized?
Engine seizure is normally the result of a failure of the lubrication system. It is often where a piston has friction welded itself to the cylinder bore. Sometimes it will be the big end bearing , the main bearings or the small end bearing. The net result is the same, though. The engine cannot be rotated. If you are very lucky, and the siezure is only slight, then the engine may free up again when it cools down. But damage will still have been done. Until water cooling and special oils were developed, racing two stroke engines were notorious for piston siezures.
Questions of battle of normandy!!?
I'm sorry if this answer is also too long and full of "crap" for you but it's not easy to cut short the information on so many people sacrificing their lives in war. Next time maybe ask separate questions. 1. The Battle of Normandy (Operation Overlord - 1944) lasted nearly three months – far longer than Allied strategists had anticipated. The Germans were partially wiped out in the Falaise Pocket at the end of the month, and those soldiers who escaped were left with no choice but to evacuate the rest of Normandy, cross the Seine and head back to Germany. http://www.normandiememoire.com/NM60Anglais/2_histoire/histo4_gb.htm 2. How many Allied and German casualties were there on D-Day, and in the Battle of Normandy? “Casualties” refers to all losses suffered by the armed forces: killed, wounded, missing in action (meaning that their bodies were not found) and prisoners of war. In April and May 1944, the Allied air forces lost nearly 12,000 men and over 2,000 aircraft in operations which paved the way for D-Day. Total Allied casualties on D-Day are estimated at 10,000, including 2500 dead. The total German casualties on D-Day are not known, but are estimated as being between 4000 and 9000 men. Naval losses for June 1944 included 24 warships and 35 merchantmen or auxiliaries sunk, and a further 120 vessels damaged. Over 425,000 Allied and German troops were killed, wounded or went missing during the Battle of Normandy. The losses of the German forces during the Battle of Normandy can only be estimated. Roughly 200,000 German troops were killed or wounded. The Allies also captured 200,000 prisoners of war (not included in the 425,000 total, above). During the fighting around the Falaise Pocket (August 1944) alone, the Germans suffered losses of around 90,000, including prisoners. http://www.ddaymuseum.co.uk/faq.htm
Is my transmission out if it won't go in drive but will go in reverse?
My truck has a similar problem, so I will attempt to answer the question to the best of my ability. But first, answer these questions: Does your vehicle shut off when you put it in drive (or any other gear[park is excluded])? Notice any abnormal smells? Next, look under the hood and check the dipstick (do NOT turn off the engine while doing this) run the engine until it is warm either in park or neutral. After rubbing the dipstick, fluid should run pinkish and almost clear and should be sweet or tart when wafted— if your fluid has a burnt toast smell and is brownish, take the vehicle to the mechanic. Check to see if the fluid is betwixt the ‘add’ and ‘full’/‘hot’ and ‘cold’ marks— if you are near the ‘add’/‘hot’ mark, flush out the old fluid and replace with new fluid until full; if you overfilled (which you probably did), you will have gear shifting trouble and your oil will be depleted. My advice is to siphon out the fluid completely and refill the transmission until full.Signs of a Failing TransmissionWhat Happens When Too Much Transmission Fluid Is Added - Driving Life
What's wrong when your gas pedal is hard to push down?
Question: “What’wrong when your gas pedal is hard to push down?”OK. It would be much easier if the posters of such questions noted the make, model, engine, year, and mileage of the car they are asking about. Do they really think that all cars are alike and have the same engine?If you have a relatively modern car the most likely cause is that the throttle plate is sticking in the throttle body. This is caused by a build up of deposits inside the throttle body.This can be corrected by removing the rubber tube between the mass airflow sensor and the throttle body, propping the throttle plate slightly open with a small piece of wood, spraying the throttle plate and the inside of the throttle body with a cleaner specifically meant for throttle bodies to remove the accumulated varnish and carbon, wiping the surfaces and respraying until the parts are clean.DO NOT place your finger between the throttle plate and the throttle body. If you have a drive-by-wire throttle control system, rather than a mechanical linkage, the motor that controls the throttle if actuated could cut your finger off.Another, although far less likely, cause of the problem would be a stuck throttle linkage. This would merely need to be cleaned and lubricated.Best solution, if you lack both diagnostic and mechanical skills, is to take the car to the dealership and have a qualified technician examine the car and correct the problem.
