Newbie with a starting issue
I just picked up a 03 7.3 and love it! The only thing is it requires, in my opinion, an excessive amount of cranking to start it. I would say it takes about 3 seconds to start. This morning it was in the 40's, and actually started better cold. It doesn't matter if it's hot, in fact I think it takes just a little longer when it's warm. Once it's started, it runs, idles great. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Sledneck

Look through this thread. Very valuable information is located in here. For engine troubles, always try to post in the diesel section.

THanks Monsta!
It has 100k miles on it, and the dealer changed the oil, but I don't know what weight they put in.
Westtntrucker,
I will repost this is the diesel section, thanks! I did check that thread as well as many searches, but couldn't find anything close to mine.
