Durango shuts off when I hit a bump or rough road.
I have a 99 Durango 5.9 that I just had completely overhauled. Runs like a champ but, if I hit a bump the truck gauges spike and I lose power. If I time it right I can punch the gas and it won’t shut off. I’d like to know where to start to find the issue. I know it has to be electrical. I’m going up north in a few weeks and would love to get this fixed before then. Also truck starts right back up when it shuts off.
Loose connection somewhere. You lose power for a bit, and when it comes back, the cluster goes thru its test. Check the main battery connections, from the battery to the PDC, and most certainly to ground.
Now that I look at it the ground cable was the only cable that wasn’t replaced on the battery connections. It’s pretty dry and old definitely could be the culprit! Thanks!
