I know a cat 3126 is not a tractor engine, but I think there is an answer to this problem among the experts on this forum. I am a member of the local volunteer fire dept. We have a 2003 Freightliner with a cat 3126 responding from our sub-station. A couple months back, I responded to an early morning fire and the batteries were dead. There are 3 group 31 batteries in this truck. Batteries were less than 3 years old. Truck is on a battery tender. Tried to jump start the truck but no luck. Replaced with 3 new batteries from the local co-op as soon as they opened up and back in business. Since then the truck has been hard starting. If you turn the key the first time it will crank 30 seconds w/o starting. If you crank for 4-5 seconds and turn the key off and try starting a second time it will always start and run fine. No codes are stored, and the intake heater system is working fine. Believe the low voltage from the bad batteries damaged something. Has anyone in YT land had a similar experience. Thank you for any help. Steve.

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
