Just to go back to the oil filter for a second. Here's a pic of the correct one. Using the wrong filter and cap can cause start issues.

I thank you guys for all your advices.
I already read about the "wrong" filters. To make sure, I will pull the filter tomorrow again, and take some pictures. Unfortunately, I forgot the brand from the filter.
The humidity here s today at 8%.
Actually I'm not a big fan from any fuel or oil adds...

Morning guys!

I just pulled the oil filter. Here are some pics. Looks pretty much ok:

















I also pulled the main fuel filter. Nothing abnormal, huh?

Looks good from I can see. Use caution when replacing the HFCM filter, install the new O-Ring as supplied, lube and tighten. If not done correctly it can suck air but will not leak fuel.

Btw.: Is that the filter for the automatic transmission?
Is there a second one in the pan?

Wow that truck is a rust bucket, must of originated from Ohio The last picture is the transmission filter, the screen in the pan is just to catch the big pieces if you have a failure. Use an air impact and metric socket to remove the filter canister, by hand the filter housing bracket will just twist.

Ok, changing the filter can't hurt. Will do that tomorrow.
Thanks for you help!

Hi,

I checked the FICM today. I got the 4 pin version. It has 48,2V Key on engine off, and 48,5V Key on engine running.
Any other ideas? I really wanna get that fixed...
Most annoying is, that the truck runs pretty bad, when it's cold. Once warmed up, it runs like a champ.

Sounds like a case of injector stiction to me. What kind of oil and filters are you running? OEM filters and 5w40 synthetic might help you also.
