v10 slow start when hot

[deshemar]

I have an 03 f250 v-10
This past weekend I took the camper out and when I got to the campground - turned off truck, went in to register and came out the truck turned over but kinda slow as if the battery was dead/low. So, i got into the campsite and Sunday morning went to leave and the truck started great - quick response and seemingly plenty of battery to start it. When i got home i shut the truck down for a few minutes before backing to camper into it's spot - when i went to start the truck same slow/hard cranking as if battery was dying. A few hours later when I had the camper all set and moved the truck it started great.
Any thoughts?

Heat soak.

The starter gets hot from the engine heat, as the starter goes bad, this really affects it.


Replace the starter.
