Ok guys, Need some direction as i'm about to give up on this truck. I have a 2000 F250 7.3 crew cab short bed. I bought it to pull a boat so I was upgrading everything I could to make it a decent Tow rig. My problem is now i'm having issues starting the truck. Seems it takes forever and if it does crank it runs fine or I just kill the batteries. Doesnt matter if its warm or cold outside. I live in NC so the cold hasn't made it here yet.
So far I have:
replaced icp with a brand new one from Ford
replaced o-rings and cleaned ipr
replaced cps, Brand new from ford.
replaced hpop line o-rings, also ford.
replaced injectors from diesel SoCal.
new IDM
Repalced all boots for boost pipes
Rebuilt turbo and changed to wicked wheel
New UVCH.
New Ford glow plugs
upgraded to Stancor relay for Glow plugs
Repalced and upgraded to 2/0 Battery cables.
I did the Hutch mod and removed filter in fuel tank and placed a external filter outside for easy access.
Rebuilt Fuel bowl, Fuel is still present in fuel bowl after it sits
I'm not having leak down on Hpop reservoir eiter. I let it sit overnight and checked the reservoir. I pulled the numbers off the icp and ipr and they where within spec. It seems like the truck takes 10-30 seconds to crank. I cant pinpoint the issue. Even with a fully charged battery( battery charger on all night) it doesn't seem to want to crank. no codes either. I had the truck at the diesel shop in Creedmoor and he basically told me, that's how these trucks are and not to be worried. Last thing I need is to head back to the docks and the truck wont crank. Have I overlooked something?? Any direction is appreciated. Thanks
