Don't forget to check the HPOP oil level too.


Edit: Yeah Barry I should have checked ebay but I had to have the truck up and running did not have time to wait. Got to hate dealer only items.

Here's the guy I got mine from. Looks like he's gone up a little, but still way cheaper than the dealer.

If you ICP is leaking oil through the top, I will need to be replaced. It may not be the entire problem, but it is a problem that needs repair. Do you have any smoke while trying to crank?

Get those batteries on a charger, too. Low voltage (under 10-1/2 volts or so) while cranking will also cause a no-start.

These electronically-controlled engines are kinda' sensitive that way.

The oil level is 1-1 1/2 inches below the top of the tank?
Is that low enough for a no start?

Did you try the #30 fuse? That is a no smoke no sputter deal. I must be the only idiot that thinks this though. (That is probably bc it happened to me)

EDIT - Brandon's post made me think. The fuel bowl heater is a white plug on mine and plugs into the back of the fuel filter housing.
