Sounds like a bad starter.
We had 3 starters in a row, for the same 6.0 ford diesel that were defective . That was a few months ago. Drove me nuts. I checked everything , and replaced battery cables...etc etc etc.
Got a starter from a different supplier, started right up.
The clerk at the parts store treated us like we were idiots and told us the starters were fine. Probably put them back in stock.We dont buy parts there anymore.
Just sayin yo.
