99 F350 Starting Problems
It is a 99.5 F350 with a 7.3. It starts and runs great and will keep running untill you turn it off. Once you turn the truck off it will not restart. Any sugestions?

How long does it have to sit before it will re-start?
Does it help to leave key on for about 20 seconds before you try to restart?
When it won't re-start measure the battery voltage while cranking. It must be at least 10.5 volts while cranking or it will not start.
Just trying to get as much info as possible.

And how old is your oil, what kind & weight is it, and is it full? When it won't start, is there any smoke coming out the tailpipe while cranking?
