I had a recent no start, long start condition in my truck that a new EGR and Fuel Filter changed fixed.

When you start your truck when its cold, when it kicks over, is it a STRONG Ignition with allot of "Diesel Noise", Or is is a weak quiet "trying to run" ignition?

Mine was weak, ant it was because my EGR wasn't closing all the way.

It seems to be a normal strong crank. Just takes a while. counted today and it was a full 3 one thousand. Beginning to think it is normal.....

I don't think there is anything wrong with ours and I believe 3 seconds would be about normal for a cold engine start and by cold engine I mean an ambient temperature start at 50 to 80 degrees or so.

I wasnt talking about the strength of the crank, but how strong the engine feels when it ignights. If its weak like its catching up with itself, may be an EGR.

Once the ingnition occurs it seems to "pop" right off and runs fine....sounds like it does when I start it warm. Just takes a while to initially fire if that makes sense.
