Evening everyone,
as title states i’m having trouble starting my 1992 7.3L IDI f350. trouble started about a month ago where i’d be driving it no problem and then starting it even with the engine hot it would take a few tries.
I confirmed that one of the glow plugs was not receiving power and changed 4/8 of them including the bad one and the truck started up. Turned it off and it will not start again.
Testing the glow plug relay with a light test from a youtube video of a similar model truck i saw to it that it needed to be replaced. Well i just installed the new relay and well truck still will not start.
I’m starting to think it’s the starter at this point. Every time i try to crank this big ole ***** the revolutions get slower and slower.
Could it be the entire glow plug controller causing this? or the starter just being worn out. I bought the truck with no information on when or if the starter has ever been replaced but the truck ran fine for the previous owner. I don’t drive it nearly as much so i made sure it wasn’t the batteries but all that checks out 12V on both
any help would be amazing. i’m moving in 3 weeks and need this running by then.
