Cold Start Issues Solved
Well the 3 new Glow plugs helped but, I installed a new 1000 cranking amp battery today. Best $75 Ive spent so far. I tested both batteries and one dropped from 13.7v to 4v when under load. The other one stayed at 13.3v during the test. This truck has never cranked over this fast.

Same thing here with two new batteries replaced. 700 cold cranking amps and 850 cranking amps under 32 degrees. The new Motorcraft plugs I am sure helped. I just need to change the glow plug controller so it does not need to be plugged in to start?
