After my truck sits idle for a few days; it does not turn over easily. After I drive it, make many stops when it is warmed up starts right away....new battery has not fixed this problem..any ideas?
Thank you, Dianne

Possibly a bad alternator, parasitic battery drain or a bad battery cable connection.

Thank you for your ideas; have passed them onto Ford Canada when they do one hour diagnostic check on it. Cheers
