Unhappy Won't Start When Warm

I have a 2000 F250 7.3 Diesel, 135K miles. Runs great ... until I turn the engine off. The engine won't start, not even turn over, when the engine gets hot. Help.

Check your battery(s) terminal connection. Remove, clean reinstall if corroded. If starter is original, its probably the culprit. Check wiring at starter, make sure it's tight and clean. Check that and get back to us and we'll go from there.

Check starter wire may be getting really hot and not passing enough current.
