I have a 2004 Excursion with the 6.0 diesel 189k kilometers. Had an egregious delete done about 3 weeks ago. A couple of nights ago the temperature was about 10 degrees f and Whalen I started her it sounded like electrical arcing or grinding. She started and off I went. The next morning it was 0 f went to start and made the same noise and then just stopped cranking. Now when I turn to start I get nothing except the relay click under dash. I tried jumping the solenoid and got nothing. Someone told me that my ground connection might be off the starter. Problem is I can't seem to get at the starter. Any ideas?
Looks like you typed that post out on a mobile device. The darn auto-complete always screws with me when I'm trying to type out a post.
Money-Pit is correct that checking your battery connections would be the first step, but I'm willing to bet you have a bad starter. You would probably be best posting down in the 6.0L Powerstroke forum for advice on how to get to it.
