Hard Start, Needs some advice.
I have noticed gradually over the past 3 months my truck has not wanted to start unless its plugged in, yes even in the 95+ heat. I replaced all the glow plugs, and uvc harnesses, it tries much harder but still needs plugged in for about 15-20 minutes, any ideas? Both batteries are good, had tested, terminals have good connections. glow plug relay? bad injector(s)?? Thanks

I did not notice any smoke, but I will check later this morning. My problem does not really match the other thread. My truck will start fine if plugged in for 15-20 minutes, but won't start if its not even in the 95+ heat.

I had a starter slowly die on me so slow that I didn't notice it . It kept taking longer and longer to start till I finally realized the engine was turning over too slow. I pulled the starter and had it tested it was found to be bad ,replaced it and life was good again....

How many miles on your injectors? How old is the IPR? How many miles on the engine oil and how often do you typically change it?

Took me a while to find it. This thread sounds a lot like the issue you are having. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/9...ease-help.html

Not really without a scanner. You could get the kit from diesel o-rings and take it apart and clean it up to see if that helps, but there's no guarantee that is your problem.
