problems starting..please help

[ford5577]

I have read some of the post but wanted to see if i could get some help????
I have a 6.0 2005 fx4 turbo crew cab. A while back my battery light started flashing on and off. It would only do it about once every two weeks. I put two brand new optima batteries in and the alt is good. Today i went to leave work and it wouldnt start, just kept turning over and turning over. I cycled the glow plugs a couple time (80deg outside) and tried a few more times and same thing. lifted the hood and felt the fuel pump under the truck, it was working. then tried again and after turing for a long time it started. This also happened one other time. What do you think could do this??

First off welcome to the site. 2nd do you have any kind of monitor on your truck (edge or a scanguage II)?

No I don't!

Welcome to the org.

I am seriously surprised that them Optima's would turn it over for a long time. I bought 2 of them for my 6.0 and I will never make the mistake and buy another Optima.
