confused
hello guys, i have a 2013 f550, just got it back from the dealer for recalls, went for a drive and the truck died on the highway, couldnt get it to start as the engine wasnt cranking fast enough and killed the batteries, got it towed, installed new batteries and tried to start it. same issue slow cranking with a high pitched squealing noise while cranking, removed all glow plugs and fan belt, still having the same problem. suggestions needed please.

Sorry dude
What are you thinking. You just had your truck to the dealer than your truck dies on the highway. You then buy new batteries remove the glow plugs and a fan belt? Now you have so many codes you don't know where to start.
My suggesti9on is put down your tools and have the dealer come get this truck. Do not tell them you wrenched on your truck or they will tell you messed up your truck and they won't fix it.
I am not sure what glow plugs had to do with the truck not starting after driving down the highway. If the truck is warm they don't come on to start the truck.
Again I am sorry for the rip Hellskells.
You may have cost you more money than having it towed to the dealer in the first place.
Good luck with this.

I've got a bad feeling about this one...
Died on the highway, followed by slow cranking with a squeal, even with the belt off. I hate to say it, but I think there may be heavy engine work in your near future. I hope I'm wrong.
