1997 Half ton - Sierra - Diesel - Coming into work - down a long logging road - I was coming down the final hill and suddenly all the dashboard lights went out and I had limited control. Freewheeling down a hill. Very scary.
Managed to stop and looked under the hood. The battery leads had come off the front right battery. Reattached the leads - no motor action sounds.
I was probably driving without power for no more than a minute.
A friend tested the batteries with a volt meter and said there is still life in the batteries.
I am in the middle of nowhere and want to avoid a tow if it is at all possible to get one.
What might be fried?
The alternator?
The starter?
Anything else?
Any advice appreciated.
