I'm new to the diesel game, jere's the scoop, 2000 f250 7.3 Super crew 133,00 bought the truck w 127,000. Complete service records everything changed by a dealer a right intervals, 15/40 rotella. I just changed the oil for the 2nd time, fuel filter for 1st time, haven't done the fuel purge yet(haven't found it), And the last couple days I've noticed it started to start alittle slower than normal. Especially this evening it took about 4-5 secs. to start, any ideas?

It may be time for a set of new batteries, slow crank = slow start.
"I just changed the oil for the 2nd time,for 1st time, haven't done the fuel purge yet(haven't found it)," Do you mean fuel filter?
