First let me say I have read ALOT of post regarding "7.3 wont start, just clicking" but none have touched on the problem i am currently having.
i have a 1994 E350, former uhaul 17 foot boxtruck with the 7.3 idi, i have had it over a year and has had a few minor issues but nothing to bad.
recently as i was cranking the truck up,as it was turning over, it got slower and slower, like batteries were going south, (batteries are only 6mos old) it fired over and ran fine all the way to the house, (about 20 min) i went to start in up about 30 min later, and the same thing, only this time, it didnt fire and slowly turned over until it stopped and would click, i removed batteries, charged until full, reinstalled and only get a click, pulled batteries and had tested, they were good, reinstalled, tried to start but just get a click. there appears to be a solenoid by the battery on the drivers side mounted to core support, that is clicking, also the starter is clicking. i am afraid that the motor locked up, there are only 195,000 miles on it, this is our race truck hauler and just missed a race because of this problem, any help would be greatly appreciated
