Message: [QUOTE="Tncoalroller88, post: 1079256, member: 5241"] Ok so heres the story. For a couple of weeks now my 2000 f350 has been starting seemingly slower first thing in the mornings. Also before this one week I let the truck sit the entire week due to being on call for work. Came in turned the key it cranked and cranked till it just stopped cranking after bout 30 seconds like the batteries die, so I thought well gues maybe I left something on. So I waited maybe 2 min while callin my dad for a boost n tried it again. It cranked 2 times and fired right up like there was never a problem. So I chalked it up to just being a fluke. Well after that it seemed to get slower starting when cold over night, but normal when warmed up all day. So I check the warranty on my motorcraft batteries and it hadnt ran out so I take it down to ford and let them test it after work one day.. ford said everything was fine maybe bring it in one day when I could leave it over night so I say ok. Go out to the truck and it starts fine. Parked it and next morning still fine and even all through the week till the weekend. I llet it sit for 2 days and it was back to slow cranking in the morning and after it set for 8 hours. Well I let it go figuring ford wasnt gonna replace my batteries till they died somewhere so I figuree ill jist wait. Well yesterday morning I got to the truck and turned the key to the on position I got no cel light nothing not ever a sputter. I thought welp batteries are dead finally ill get a new set, negative on that turned the key off and back on and it fired up like it had been slow crank then fire. So im thinking wtf at this point but I had to go to work so I drove it. Got on the intersstate and gassed on it to get up to speed truck shuts down almost does completely like you turned the key off but back on. Then I went on a mile or so and gassed it again. This time it died completely like you had flipped a main switch. Dash lights head lights brakes everything went dead. I coast it to the side of the rd in shock as to what the **** just hsppened tried to start. Nothing.... waited a min or so it fired back up and I drove on to work not gassing on it anymore. Got back in it after work it started slow crank bit still started. Gassed it all the way home it did nothing no spit no sputter no sign of a thing wrong. Came home thought maybe its the alternator. Replaced it with a brand new one went to drag races last night gassed on it both there and back no problems. Now this morning I go out to get in it to go to work and it cranks and cranks and no start at all. Got an apt with ford to check batteries again but im stumped. Also note I have retro solutions hid headlights and sometimes when I turn them on it will kill the motor or completely stall it out like ov heard about them doing with dp tuner chips installed but I have a ts chip from gearhead and I know for a fact that the headlight kill it at times its killed it at least 5 times by just flippping on the headlights. Hope someone can help me this is my daily driver without it I am stuck [/QUOTE]
