Engine Shutdown While Driving
« on: September 25, 2026, 05:50:53 PM »
Good morning. We were having a great trip in the PNW until we started our drive this morning. Our rig has repeatedly shutdown while driving. I nursed it to a Love's where we are figuring out next steps. The symptoms - loss of power, zero turbo boost, it coasts for a bit before total shutdown. When it shuts down I'm getting a low battery message (when running it showing 13.8) and loss of engine comms message. Any ideas? Thanks

Are you able to start it up after it shuts down? I had a similar problem but mine would start up again but shut down periodically. My problem was the ignition relay in the rear run box went bad.
