Intermittent Hot/Cold no start
Been having an issue every once in a while for the past 3-4 weeks.
Truck will not start when cranking sometimes (has happened 4 different times as of today), then I will stop cranking, and retry and it will fire up.
Of course when I try to replicate the no start, it won't replicate. So from here on out I will make sure my Torque Pro connects to the BAXF before cranking.
I know to look at the HPOP psi number.
I need to know the other parameters to look at during cranking. I am suspecting the STC, dummy plugs, or stand pipes with a leak by or drain down of oil.
Thanks - Preston

I had this exact same issue with my 6.0 at one point. I had even driven it 2 hours away from where i was staying to a very reputable diesel mechanic that knows the 6.0s very well. I described the same symptoms you have and he told me to return my tuning to stock and then reload my usual tune.
sure enough, it worked. His logic behind it was that the tune can sometimes become slightly corrupted and a reflash fixes it. I had my 6.0 for 6 more months afterwards without any other starting issues. I had prepared myself for stc fitting, dummy plugs and standpipes and drove away without even having to pay a diagnotic fee, since the whole conversation lasted 10 minutes.

Thanks for the suggestion, I will take a look when I get some time to spend under the hood.
Interesting. I would do the "back to stock" thing, but when I sent the FICM to Ed, I just had him put the Atlas 40 on, I don't have the actual programmer.
hmmmmm....
