Got my self a new 2000 f350, now i got a small problem

so i got a new 2000 f350 from my old 99 f250, ive had the truck for a few weeks now, and every now and then when i go to start it i'll let the glow plugs warm up and hit they key, and it wont do anything at all no sounds or anything and other times it'll fire right up with no problem at all, but this morning she was being a little tempermental bitch and took probably about 9 times for her to finally start, and one know fo a relay or something that would cause this, kinda scared me a lil bit, heres a pic of it, ive done 2011 f350 tow mirrors and 6inch black aussie stacks

Check both batteries. Even if one is a little bad they can act weird.

I have no idea then. I don't own a diesel, but know many who do and they always have told me the batteries are the first thing they check when some electrical things act finicky.

Does your truck have issues going into park? Try lifting up on the shifter or put the truck in neutral next time it does this.

If it keeps up, try seeing what happens if you jump the starter solenoid.

Clutch pedal safety switch? Stomp on the clutch a bit harder.

My old f150 had that same issue. You ca pull the electrical connector out and bypass it by connecting three of the pins with some wire. Simple fix and easier than replacing it
