6.0 Cold starrt/rough idle issues
Hey everyone! I just picked up my new 2005 Ex with the 6.0 PSD a week ago. Love it. It's been a little cold lately (like 32-34 F) and when starting it up the glow plug light stays on for about 7 seconds. After it goes off and I start the truck it runs VERY rough fror about 15 - 20 seconds before smoothing out. It didn't do this for the first few days I had it (and the glow plug light only stayed on for about 3 seconds max) and it was as cold or colder. And, my other truck was a diesel, so I can't contriubute it to being a new diesel owner (plus, it didn't do it the first few days). The truck onlyhas 41000 miles on it. Is it the battery? The glow plugs? Is this covered under the 100k mile powertrain warranty? Thanks!
