[QUOTE="lavacarancher, post: 868587, member: 9198"] I don't think so, sir. Crankin' for 6 to 8 seconds is a lot of crankin' for a diesel. They usually start after three or four turns, or at least mine do. Surge for a starter motor on a diesel may be as high as 400 to 600 amps with the run at more than 200 amps. Don't take long for even 0000 size cable to get hot with that much current. I am assuming the engine is turning over rather freely? Or does it act like there just isn't enough "uuumph" in the starter motor? I would look at the fuel system - try a little Ether (don't go crazy with that stuff). [/QUOTE]
