I recently drove the truck home from where I bought it which was about 150 mi. The truck drove great. I parked it an now it won't start as far as I know the batteries are good an I feel the gp wires warm up an my motorcraft gps are good an it has about 10 gallons in the tank does anyone have an idea of what the problem is? I have a feeling it's either bad battery connection or fuel isn't flowing

it doesn't sound as fast as it should be but I'm charging up the batteries now so I'll see what it does. I know it takes a lot of *** to start these trucks up so fingers crossed hopefully she starts

Get some good charged batteries on it, if it still "doesn't sound as fast as it should" then you probably need a new starter. I couldn't believe the difference in mine. Night and day. Mine was taking several cranks and with the new starter it was almost instant.
You won't enjoy changing it if you have to. These boys are HEAVY.
If you do have to, you may want to look on eBay http://m.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Ford-7-3-D...257Ciid%253A13

You drove it home and now you're not getting fuel? That's very strange.
Do you have an aftermarket electric pump or just the factory mechanical pump on the block?
