Unhappy Won't turn over when warm?

I have a 2000 Ford F250 7.3 Diesel, 135Kmiles. When the engine gets hot after driving for awhile it won't start - won't even turn over. Any ideas?

Usually a warm engine is easier to turn, but check the usual things.

Dirty battery connections, weak battery, dirty connections to the starter and solenoid. Then you get into a worn starter or old solenoid.

Good Luck,

If you batts and solenoid are good I have heard of starter cores that would swell a little when they warmed up and would not turn till they cooled.
