Alright that sounds like a cable problem.If you had a solid 12 volts when you crank it,thats fine.There might be a clutch switch or a oil pressure switch that has gone bad not letting it start?If when you crank it and it has about 11 volts at the starter it should crank.If you have at least that much to the hot side of the starter then it about has to be a ground.The big trucks I know about have a spacer where it bolts to the flywheel housing.Maybe you need to pull that spacer out and clean it and the flywheel housing and the grounding surface on the starter.Try and crank it by jumping it.It should crank then.Actually you should be able to crank it while its off of the truck with the battery charger or a hot battery.You hook the ground to the case and hot to the hot and jump to the switch post on the solenoid.If it works that way it has to be a cable or some switch that wont let it crank.Seems like I remember some over crank sensor on the side of a starter that wont let you crank if you crank over 2 minutes.If it has that then you might have to hook a jumper wire on it to get that to crank.Ask somebody at Freightliner and maybe they can tell you.All big starters have a problem with that brass strip between the solenoid and the starter housing being loose or corroded.Might want to pull it off and see if its in good shape and tight.Also if you changed the starter but used the old solenoid it could be that.Solenoids usually wear out before the starter.
