7.3 IDI Cranking but not catching.
Actually the batteries are in parallel. Series would make it a 24 volt system. You are correct though it takes a lot of amps to roll these engines over. Glow plugs along take around 200 amps when that system first turns on.- ihc1470

f350 cab and chassis Ujoints
You may not be able to drill a cross as I believe they are harden. Was it a fitting that had a ball in the end and screw driver slot to screw into the cross? If so those take a needle fitting to grease.- ihc1470
