This,I would say, is the NUMBER ONE REASON I drive nothing but manual rigs. I spend a lot of time MANY km's from civilization and have bumped my rig many times to get it going.

You do know we should not 'rub it in'?

How is your starting issue jasnmt?
Just got everything together and running on mine. I got my parts from G&S cruisers parts in Chiliwack B.C., quick service, good prices.
Hey guys guess I'm here to revive this thread as I'm at a loss what could have gone bad. The truck started fine this morning getting to the store then at the store it acted like the battery was dead, had someone jump me and it started. I got home shut it off and tried to restart and it had the same problem the starter acting like it had a dead battery. So I hooked a battery to jump it again and it's not cranking just acting like a dead battery
The "dead battery" is when you turn key to crank motor, the starter goes click click click the voltage is at 13.6v. and barely drops voltage. I use super capacitors for my start battery so no issues with not enough amps. I even connected another battery to this capacitor and same clicky starter problem. I started up my ol 75' power wagon that has a 360 amp alternator and still clicky starter on the cruiser.Describe what you mean by dead battery?
Total silence?
Click and nothing?
Click and tries to crank?
Rapid, repeated click click click?
Something else?
Have you tested the battery voltage?
Read the voltage while it's under load such as turning to start, or turn hi beam lights on.
What voltage do you have?
I have tried to hit the starter while cranking to no avail of starting. maybe it needs a harder hit but I have not been able to get it to start while hitting itsounds like connections, starter relay or starter solenoid. tap on the starter while cranking and see if it starts. if it was locked up it would draw alot of amps and get super hot.
