That is the voltage while actually cranking? Then that is good. Some vehicles the tach moves while cranking and some don't. I am not sure if it varies by year or what. I honestly have never paid attention to what mine does. Low oil won't affect that but it will keep it from firing.
Good morning Jim.
Good morning Dennis. Another nice day here too. About 60 to start.
Good morning Gerry.
Good morning Dave. Friday cannot arrive soon enough.
That's what we are doing also.

Good morning Jay!
Sounds like a hoot to me!
Good morning Michael!
Good morning Dustin!
Hope it all goes good for you. The project that never ends it seems like.
You need 10.5 volts while cranking to get the injectors to fire. Just because it is spinning good doesn't mean you have the full 10.5 volts there. I would get a volt meter on it while cranking.

I've done this before. Aluminum won't be hard or take too long.

Who me? 
I hate to see them have trouble but it all seems to familiar when I think back to the one I had that was always something going wrong with it.

My next truck will be at least the 6.7 but that will be probably 10 yrs before I can afford a used one! LOL I don't care for the looks of the '08-'10 trucks. I am liking not having payments on my truck so I will hold on to it for a while.

So are you saying I should avoid them like the plague with my luck? Either that or move in next door to Dave and Tom's shop?
