Actually I'm thinking bad fields , which is usually caused by bad connections or undersized batteries. Everybody says these car batteries will work (which they will for awhile) but they also shorten the starter life .
What kind of batteries ?

It could also be a internal issue in the starter , you may need to measure current draw while cranking.
The military run SAE 15W40 not SAE 30 and it meets Allison specs . These transmissions are 20+ years old seals get hard and 18 year old Pvt. Pyle probably wasn't the easyist on it.

This information you should be able to find in the -10 TM , which you should read before going and looking at the truck anyway.It should also be on a data plate in the truck.
