Truck gives problems starting?

I have an older model Ford F-150. 4.9 manual transmission. Recently it started acting up. First start of the day it cranks perfectly. However, if I drive 5 minutes down the road and shut it off. Start it back up the battery acts like it's dead for a minute then starts. After it sits for awhile it cranks normally again. I put new plugs, wires, battery, starter and alternator in it a couple of weeks ago. Any ideas?

Check the charging system fuse and change it to a 15 amp if it's blown out. Bad charging system fuses in fords are sometimes hidden way back under the dash. You will change the alternator and the battery and still have a blown out fuse and an empty wallet. $1 fuse, not $300 alternator.

  • What causes problems starting a car and the engine to misfire going over 60 mph? This problem started about two months ago. I have a 2006 Ford Taurus. So far no mechanic can figure out the problem. They have replaced all of the spark plugs (numerous times because they keep going bad), an engine coil, the crankshaft position sensor, the battery, did a tune-up, ran a $100 diagnostic test and still the problem occurs. Anyone have any idea what could be the problem? I forgot that they also did a coolant flush.
  • Shifting problems and intake problems? I drive a 1997 ford ranger with a 2.3l automatic. I have recently experienced a hard shifting in my truck even when I'm not on the gas it has problems shifting. And I cleaned my air filter and filter hose that goes to my throttle body and there was transmission fluid in the hose. What can be causing this and how can I fix it or how much will it cost roughly?
