Once you clean all the connections up and if it still is a slow starter, then you can look at the battery.

I have another question from my trip yesterday.
When I shift from 4Lo to 4 Hi I am getting a grinding. I tried several different times and the only way I could avoid it was to go from 4Lo to 2 Wheel then back to 4 wheel. Don't mind doing that but would like to know what I am doing wrong going from 4Lo to Hi.
