JoeH Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Dumb question, you aren't driving around with the PTO on right? Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69136-pto-trouble/#findComment-488280 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey Mack Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 A few years ago I fixed a similar issue, with an M-Drive. Under the cab on the left side was a wire harness that ran down the frame and over the top and down to the tranny. I found wires rubbed through in the harness where it curled over the frame. I soldered the wire together and , just like that it was fixed.. I spent 2 days on that truck and was hitting dead ends. I even pulled the shift cover off a couple of times because I thought I had a speed sensor issues and a shift cover issue. I hit the re-set button and started over.. and that was when I found the wire, i had to spread the wires out and look real good for it.. Good luck, Jojo 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69136-pto-trouble/#findComment-488288 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck, Jojo Usually this is a wiring issue as Jojo has mentioned in Our area there is Brine/ salt on the roads this time of year and it gets in to EVERTHING ,But rule out the techy end with the tech tool make sure the any codes are un related your up dates are up to date For WHAT EVER reason this makes a difference sometimes as these people keep changing stuff! Then start tareing into harness issues ! just sayin!
