Weird starter situation?

05 f250 6.0.
Sometimes when I start my truck the starter turns over faster than other times. It always starts but I was wondering why it would spin faster. 2 brand new batteries been on the truck for a couple months now

You sure it's not your battery voltage varying?

Like her said ^^^^^ watch the battery voltage a few times.
One other test you can try just to see is unplug the clutch coil
on the A/C compressor for a few starts and see how that does.

I am always for the free and easy to do tests first. You can also
do a voltage drop test on the starter cable and starter ground a few
times to see if there is a problem there.


Post back with what you find.
