Ive had my 2000 5.9 with an auto trans. for a while now, bought it from an old farmer. over the years I've had a few common issues vp 44, cam sensor, tranny issues, so the norm. this morning i went to start it and it was cranking over then just died, now none of the interior lights or any thing comes on at all, i mean anything its completely dead. i checked all fuses everything is in order there, so i plugged in the battery charger to try and get it goin, the batteries would not take a charge. still nothing. I got a friend of mine to come over with a volt meter, when the batteries are plugged in they read 15 MV. i now have the batteries hooked on the same charger out of the truck and they are now taking a charge, these batteries are interstate batteries bought within the last sixty days. has anyone ever heard of a truck cranking over then just completely nothing at all. I've phoned the place where i bought the batteries the guy told me it, MAY have cooked or blown one of them, but for a surge or something like that to blow both or damage them would have to be fairly serious. any thoughts. the truck was running fine yesterday.
