Default Starter?

So I had some weak batteries in my truck so I repaced them and now when I try to start my truck I get a longer slower crank but the second I give it some fuel it starts right up..any ideas?

Could be bad battery connections .. Check your cables.. pull back some of the insulation and look for corosion .. if there is any .. Replace cables with good high quality cables..

I checked cables and they didn't seem like they had any, the positve wire leading into the secondary battery was really covered in oxidation and I clean it but it didn't seem to help

Yeah that's what I'm thinking, I took it to my friends shop last night to change out the fuel level sensor and he's gonna check out the starter for me

Good deal ..

Larryb - LarryB's Cummins & Dodge Denso Starter EASY rebuild kit 94-06

This kit is a real easy kit and it solves many of the issues these starters are prone to having ..

Larryb - Shop online for auto repair, truck repair parts, alternators and starter solenoids from Foster Truck. - they have fuel ststem and Starter build kits .. and it will be better than any shlf product at any parts store in America ..

my truck was doing the same thing. I put new batteries on it last friday but it still started slow. I put a new starter on it last night and it starts great now.
