cold mornings
This happened last year after I bought my truck too, but does anyone else's truck start slower when the temperature is around 50? What I mean is my truck turns over and starts normal when its warm outside but when its cold it turns over slowly and seems like the battery is dying. It still starts tho. I went and had it checked at oreillys and they said everything was good so idk what it is. Just wondering if it happens to anyone else too and what yall do to help it. Ss you can probably tell this is my first truck. Lol thanks.

2. I would upgrade the big 3 + Starter wire
3. Add extra battery
4. Do all the above https://www.f150forum.com/f75/big-3-...ng-how-174540/

Make sure both ends of your battery cables are clean and tight, you can also run a ground strap from one of the starter mounting bolts to the frame which will allow more current to run thru the starter.
