I have an F-350 S/D, new batteries and when you go to start the vehicle it acts like the batteries are low, what could be the problem???

Bad Ground?
Try this. Get a good, heavy duty jumper cable. Attach one end to your NEGATIVE battery post. Attach the other end directly to the starter housing. See if that makes any difference when starting.
