Why does my truck clicks but wont start?
It might be a battery or alternator problem. A rapid clicking noise when trying to start your car could mean there’s something wrong within the electrical system. Or, the solution could be as simple as removing corrosion from the battery cables to strengthen the battery’s charge.
Why will my diesel turn over but not start?

What should the battery voltage be on a 2003 Cummins?
It is very common to have a battery read around twelve volts on a surface charge, but then drop well below nine (the minimum voltage to allow for cranking on 2003 to current Cummins) when under load. Overall, make sure that when you test the battery, you are doing so under load by cranking the engine and watching the voltmeter.
Can a 2003 Cummins have a hard start?
