2001 7.3 cold start problems

I bought a 2001 F-250 4x4 Last March. The dealler told me it had a cold start problem. He told me they replaced the starter relay and it didn't help. Does anyone have any suggestions seen as how it is starting to get cold out? I like to fix this problem before my truck stops starting.
Thanks to all.

It probably has bad cable ends, usually the right side one that carries the full current tends to corrode inside.
You might get some better suggestions if you post in the Powerstroke forum here:
