10 year old thread LOL
i have a 7.3 and it was hard to start..... i found the simplest thing helped fixed it...
if you have good controller good plugs which it sounds like. run a seperate ground wire to the engine from one of the batteries and run at least a 4 gauge wire to the controller relay from the positive post on battery. this gives full potential amps to the glow plugs and they will heat quickly, dont forget part throttle when cranking.... mine starts at 30degrees within 6-8 cranks

He wasn't the only one. Look at the dates, the o.p. was 12/00, into 1/01. then in 4/03 somebody brought it back to life, now 7 years later it's still alive!!!
I've about done that before, you're searching for something, read a thread and know the fix so you reply; without any regard to the time of the original post.
