Hey everyone, I'm new here since I just bought an 06 F350 CC. From day 1 the cranking power of the truck seemed a little whimpy to me but I kind of just ignored it. I couldn't ignore it on Saturday morning though when I had horses loaded in the trailer and the truck wouldn't start. I got it jumped and then drove it for 4 hours hoping the battery would charge but it still wouldn't start after I turned it off. At this point I was pretty sure I would be springing for an alternator and a couple of batteries. Then I poked around the forums here and found out that these things have issues with corrosion on the battery terminals. A wire brush, a dremel, and 15 minutes fixed it right up. The truck fires no problem now. Thanks!!!

Mike. Enjoy your time here. By the way, when you go to change the batteries, change BOTH of them. Otherwise the old battery will drag down the new one.Dave
