Welcome to the site, you'll find plenty of help here!
 
Welcome to The Truck Stop Brandon! You will find a wealth of knowledge on the 6.5 here. I have family in SA. One owns a plumbing company (Diamond) there.
 
Welcome. And what transmission is in your truck? If you found a manual transmission mechanical injection pump 4 door i think it would be one of the rarest 6.5l around. Either way I am extremely jealous!

I just dont feel if its running to its best just yet dont get me wrong i love the way it handles going down freeway very smooth ride i love it but i do beleive it could run better starter issues r going to drive me up the wall very very soon ne suggestions
 
Yeah, its a lemon I'll take the truck!

On a serious note if cranking speed is low then check all grounds, and possibly replace your battery cables if any corrosion is present. Racedaymechanic/pt wiring solutions/Bruce makes really nice cable kits.
 
It's also a good idea to load test new batteries when you buy them. I went through several to find 2 that matched when load tested.

I started doing this after buying several bad or not so good new batteries. And the warranty was always not so much.
