rough starting
Lately when I start my truck in the morning (plugged in or not) Ive noticed it doesnt want to turn over quite as easily as my 2000 did. Quite honestly I cant remember how the other trucks I test drove acted and I dont know anyone else w/ a 600 CTD to compare too. It always starts, just seems to take a couple seconds. Just wanted to see if this is normal or not.
Before anyone says my electrical system might be hurting from my system, it isnt hooked up yet so that cant be it. In fact its in better than stock condition as Ive upgraded to dual redtops and upgraded many of the grounds to 0 gauge wiring.

Man you messed it up with the 0 gauge grounds, you killed the current leak off paths. That 0 gauge ground is actually causeing an open in the ground path due to the increased resistance in the wire. Man that thing will never work right now

OK, saying I "upgraded the grounds" wasnt the best way of putting it. Too much eggnog i guess......
this is what i upgraded:
1) Battery negative to chassis
2) Alternator to battery positive
3) Chassis to engine
