damn dude my friends uncle has an 86 but has a 7.3 engine non turbo it doesnt even start if its 90 outside! lol... damn impressive dude.. love the truck

Can you tell me what the build date on your truck is? Is it from mid to late 1984 or from early 1985?
-
Awesome truck. My buddy had an 86 (I think) 6.9, not turboed though. He did have the glow plugs on a push button though. The controllers on those trucks were notorious for dying.
If you ever tow with it can you post a video of that?

You know what, my 1999 7.3L in same conditions would not start! I think I may need new starter and possibly batteries...
-
What? Glow plugs are on a switch yes

I think the owner of the truck is well aware that he needs new battery cables, thank you very much!
7*F Burr! Are your cable ends shot or is the whole cable junk?

The whole cable is shot basically. Like I have said before I will replace them and see if that helps. If not, then it looks like I will go for a new starter.

Honestly shocked that that thing started!
7 deg, slow cranking, no block heater, short glow cycle
Your truck must be in near perfect condition!

Batteries are like new. The cables are cracked in places and the copper is all coroded inside. So I'm about 99% sure its the cables but you never know lol
