Finally got around to checking the voltage today. I think it's safe to say it's not the FICM. Voltage was 47-48 key on engine off and dropped to 46 while cranking. Unless I'm wrong those numbers seem fine to me.

Just as I thought.....Had to replace the FICM the other day, and it wasn't covered under the warranty. Oh well, at least it starts normally now.

OT. The diesel tech recommended for me to do EGR delete after the warranty expires. Will this help me keep the truck for many years to come?
