Hey all, this is my first post here but I've been reading the forums for awhile now. I recently bought a 93 F250 7.3 and have been having issues with it. I did search but could not find what I needed.
Originally it would not start cold, 2 new batteries, new GP's and GPC took care of that. Recently the starter mounted solenoid died and was replaced. After that the truck started and ran fine for a couple of days. Today I went to start it in about 20 degree weather and it cranked over incredibly slowly. I checked all of my starter wiring and connections, battery post connections, engine grounds etc and determined the starter to be bad. I replaced the starter and it made no difference. It cranks over so slow it is scary. I would say somewhere around 60 rpm. Can you guys think of anything I need to check before it goes to the shop?
Thanks for any advice!
