I was The service manager of a IH medium truck dealership in Bowling Green Ohio. A Brockway (for real) cab and chassis that was on its way to Newhampshire for a fire truck body cam into the shop from the highway. It would not shut off. The transport driver indicated that the unit had had its heater fan start to slow down in Indiana, and when the lights were turned on in Ohio, they dimmed down to nothing within 80 miles. The driver got to our door just at closing (10 below zero). We got it inside and hooked a charger to it, cranked it to 50 amps, and it was able to shut off. The next day, I began to trouble shoot the charging system. The trouble was that it didn't have one at all. No 150 amp Leese-Neville alternator, No harness, No regulator, No Alt bracket, No fuse link, No idiot light, No amp or volt meter. The factory refused to believe it until I put them in a position that required their looking at the build ticket. The engineering group head called back and said "you know, that truck hasn't got a charging system" Duh! We built one in house to the specs sent from Chicago, and sent the driver on his way with a heater. The chassis was fast, (I got a chance to road test it) it was a V8-71 Detroit with Turbo over supercharger into an allison 12 speed automatic. With no body on it it was a tire chirper at every shift. Fun, JimN
