Hi, and welcome to FTE.

It usually takes people a little longer than 2 minutes to reply, so be patient.

Also, I'd recommend posting this in the Superduty forum, rather than the announcement/introduction forum. Technical questions should be posted there.

This forum is for introductions not for tech questions.

You also only waited 2 minutes to ask if anyone is around. Why ?

Once you ask a question on a Tech forum,try Being patient.

This is a free web site where people do other things during the day,like spend time with their family

Sounds like you have a weak battery to me. Put a jumper on it or hook up to another vehicle and see what happens.

Fordman, do your dash lights dim when you try to start it? If so, you may just have a low battery, and need a jumpstart. If that gets it to start, but then you keep having this problem, you might have a bad battery or alternator. Also, if that's the case, before you change the battery, be sure to make sure the cables on it have good, clean connections - that's a simple fix, sometimes.

(copied from my post in your 2nd thread, "Clicking Sound Won't Start")

Yeti, or another moderator, three different threads with the same EXACT question have been started by Fordman (which are "Need Help," "Clicking Sound Won't Start," and "Need Help, Can't Wait") - would it be possible to combine the posts from those three separate threads into one thread, so those making suggestions, and Fordman reading them, can better follow the discussion?
