Need help!!

I have a 96 f350 that I just replaced the batteries on and now when I go to start it does not hardly turn over. Starter just barely turns motor over and definitely not fast enough to start truck. Battery connections are tight and starter was replaced about 4 months ago. Any help would be appreciated.

Is this the same as it was doing before replacing the batteries?

Were the cable ends corroded?

Cable ends were a little corroded but I cleaned them up before replacing the batteries. Old batteries went bad but it would start fine before they went

Well, those old battery cables could be corroded down inside.

I would also get the batteries and charging system tested.

Will it jump start?
