Long morning start.
This has probably been answered but I could find find a direct answer on it. Have 2004 6.0 and in the morning it takes a while to start. Once started though it runs smooth. It turns over fine but doesnt want to fire off right away except when its warm. Has the wrong batteries in it which I know I need to change out soon. Question is with the wrong batteries in it that are not for diesel engines can it effect starting it up aftering sitting over night or am I probably also looking at replacing glow plugs?

get the right batterys soon you might start taking out electrical components like the ficm expensive stuff
they have to work extra hard if not getting the right voltage
you might want to consider some gauges to great preventative measure
Glow Plugs draw alot of juice at start up
get good batterys then go from there
