long crank time
Hi all this is my first post here but have been reading and learning a lot from here my truck is a 95 f350 powerstroke auto 4x4 I bought it at an auction not running someone had butchered a remote start in it at one time then just cut the harness right off at the ignition switch when they removed it I repaired all of that [ soldered&heatshrank] chargedthe batteries cranked the daylights out of it & it started & romp romp romp so i read this collum & went back and checked the glow plugs fond a bad relay 2 bad plugs 1 burnt harness conector under the turbo inlet and 2 burnt conectors under the valve covers so it got everything plugs relay undercover harnesses and the one conector next to turbo changed the oil & filter 15w40 & motorcraft filter checked the hipressure pump reservoir level its ok fully charged batteries & tried it but it still seems to crank excessively 5 to 15 seconds haven checked that with a watch though not sure where to go next 
Thanks for any help past present & future Irv One other thing i dont belive the tach is moving when in crank position but works ok when engine is running thanks again 95 f350 60 f350 96 f150
