King0581,are you having a hard time starting it in the morning when it is cold? I have a 03 250crewcab automatic 6.0 and I have a hell of a time starting it when it is only about 40 degrees out if I didn't plug it in.

The .06 reading was on the old one. The new one had a reading of 11.0 something, right at 12.0. The decimal and zero were in the right spot on that reading on the old one. Yeah that was my problem too. Mine wouldnt start when it was 45 outside either, without being pluged up. It would also smoke like he** when it did finally start. Thats probably your problem also. Be sure to check around on the prices when replacing the solenoid. Ford wanted $105 and one local part store wanted $115! Found mine for $75. The truck is still under warranty but I wasnt about to wait a week before the dealer could even think about looking at it for me. So now I'm in the process of trying to get my warranty to reimburse me for the solenoid.

I didnt take the time to check on line because it was gonna be cold here and I'd already gotten aggravated with the truck not startn. I'll know better next time.
