Tossed in a new gpr as well. Not that it means much. I'll give it a whirl. This all started with the new starter. I wonder if the new starter sucks more juice than my cables can support?

Just to touch base on this topic. Last night I noticed the ground strap that goes from the back of the block to the firewall was loose. I tightened it down and the old girl fired up like it's supposed to this morning. Hopefully that was my trouble the whole time

What starter did you go with? Looked at a SD 7.3 starter. Too much $$$

Good deal Nick! I hope that was it. It is crazy how picky these trucks are about grounds.
