I ran my truck a few times w/that short ground cable disconnected,the truck shut off while driving.I connected it but my batteries & alternator got damaged.New batteries & alternator but still got a crank no start.All this because I left a light on,removed batteries to charge & clean terminals for winter.smh..What else got messed up is what I need to know.I have 2 kids & a handicapped wife..this truck is all we have.Please help

Crank no start could be coincidence. Do you have any way of pulling codes or doing live monitoring?

I borrowed a cheap scan tool.Only got code PO113.Intake air temperature intake air temperature sensor 1 circuit high.I noticed my air filter was loose.I maintain my truck pretty well.Its gone from Colorado springs to Miami & back 3 times.I don't wanna throw unnecessary parts at it, diesel prices along are bankrupting me.I appreciate the help.

My Usual Scanner Advice;

If you're gonna keep & maintain the truck yourself I strongly suggest you get access to the special scanner software you need to do it.

To retrieve most of the codes you'll need to help and even do some testing look at the FORscan Lite or TorqueApp (you add an Android device and Blue Tooth Adapter for @ $30) OR the Windoze version with a USB adapter. I like this one for BT Android -> http://www.amazon.com/BAFX-Products-34t5-Bluetooth-Android/dp/B005NLQAHS/

Just a few years ago you needed to buy a professional scan tool because our trucks need to have a scanner with a Library containing both the Ford Proprietary AND the Diesel Specific codes in it. Add to that, our trucks are Not, specifically, OBD-II so the Generic scanners the Auto Parts Stores have are of little use to us. But today there are some very good App based tools, that are close to what the pro tools do, for fraction of the cost.
