Longer to start...
Throwing this out there, as to ensure I have not missed something.....HAD a clean Valley after the R & R of the Carter fuel lift pump and just put 400+ miles on in two days and went to start her after a 5 day rest period and she took longer on the crank part to fire...
Popped hood and looked in valley and have a small amount of OIL in the front passage...So me thinks a leakage in the IPR area...Scanned with AE, and data doesn't seem out of placed, so am I missing something ELSE regarding a longer than MY normal start???
weather is warm, and oil is fresh, batteries full, GP's cycle and pull amp gauge down. SO...

I had a similar issue, my ipr tin nut was laying in the valley...
I wouldn't think this would be your problem as you've just been down in there, but just sayin it could be loose and you didn't see/notice it.

Well, tin nut is secure, I will check the rail plugs, and clean them up...batteries. well, their 2010 Born on date and I would hydrometer them if the tops would come off...I'll trickle charge them to ensure their topped off. I will keep and eye open. thats for the inout.
Darin, how did the gear swap go? and has the gentleman with the 3.55's got his in?

Gear swap went good shooter. I'm much happier with these gears for towing. I don't know if he got his in yet or not, I haven't talked with him for a while.
