Motor Vehicle Maintenance & Repair Asked by Chica Martinez on January 3, 2021
Hi I have a 2000 F250 truck and I am experiencing difficulties keeping it started . So my question is when i jump it, it’s fine as it’s in park but when I go to put it in gear it shuts off? Or when I remove cables it does the samething? Does anyone have any advice or knowledge of this kinda issue?
It sounds like your battery is dead. With the jumper on there, there's enough power to run the vehicle, but once removed, there's no power (or rather enough power) from the battery to energize the alternator, so the vehicle dies. Take the battery to a parts shop and get it tested not only for voltage, but load as well. If the battery is good, completely charge it.
You need to check the output of the alternator, but can only do that with a fresh or completely charged battery. It may be your battery is good, but with it being completely depleted and the alternator not being able to charge it, the truck dies.
