Your Caterpillar 3406 diesel engine might crank over but not start because of a lack of fuel. The fuel filter may be plug or the fuel tank may be empty.

It would help to know which motor you had. Detroit Diesel, Caterpillar, and Cummins motors were all available options during that model year. Which engine options specifically were available depends on exactly what model Freightliner you have. It could be either an 11.1 or 12.7 60 Series Detroit, it could be a 3206, 3306, or 3406E Caterpillar, it could be the L10, M11, or N14 Cummins, etc.

Need to know the engine. In 1997, most Freightliner models were available with a Detroit Diesel (e.g., 11.1, 12.7, or 14.0 60 Series), Caterpillar (3116, 3126, 3406, etc.), or Cummins (6BT, L10, M11, N14, etc.) engine, and many models from the aforementioned manufacturers were available, as Freightliner makes a wide range of trucks - Class 5 through Class 8. You could talking about anything from an FL50 with a 6BT Cummins to an FLD132 Classic XL with a 3406E Caterpillar. Suffice to say, the routing won't be the same for each truck model/engine configuration.
