I see a lot of threads discussing hard start issues on their trucks. I was wondering if anyone has ever written a definitive document that listing the starting parameters of all of the sensors, switches and controller? This would make a really good Tech Guide!

Does this count?


1 - walk to truck and dig in pockets for keys
2 - realize you left the keys in the house...go back to house
3 - walk in front door and wonder what the hell is that nasty smell.
4 - notice you stepped in dog ***** from the neighbors dog wandering on your property and now it is on the carpet.
5 - cuss and yell as the dog barks at you from the other side of the fence.
6 - Run to pick up a rock to throw at him and slip in other pile of poo that he left.
7 - go back into house to change clothes and try to get the shoe shaped poop stains out of the carpet.
8 - decide its too much work and call for the carpet cleaners to come out that afternoon.
9 - go to truck...crap...forgot the keys again.
10 - go back into house... what did I come back in here for? Oh yea..KEYS! got em
11 - Go back to truck....get in...Keys..CHECK!
12 - Start truck....let it warm up. Start mental check of everything needed for the day....
13 - Go back to house for wallet. Truck needed to warm up anyway.
14 - go back out to truck....AHHHH!!!! Doors are locked!
15 - Look around and contemplate throwing a large rock through the window...Nawwww easy now...Extra keys in the house.
16 - OK House is locked....Go back to look at the large rock on the ground.
17 - Decide to force the bathroom window open...Not far from the ground...easy climb.
18 - Window is a little high...Use a rake handle to try to push the window open...It's never locked.... Rake handle slips.... Mental note...Measure window for new glass.
19 - Pull yourself up about half way to window only to have neighbors dog run back in the yard and bite you for trying to break in.
20 - fall to ground on the rake and broken glass, only to discover the back door isn't even closed all the way.
21 - go inside...tend to the cuts and place bandaids where they never show you to put them in the commercials.... Only in Europe do they do that.
22 - Locate extra keys...tape plastic over the hole where there once was glass in the bathroom window...lock the back door...walk out the front and loc....wait...Keys...In hand.. OK lock the door. Get into truck, roll down windows and turn off heater...leather seats look like the face of a 400 yr old mummy its so hot in there.
24 - Back out of driveway and start heading for work.
25 - Few miles away from home truck dies....Out of fuel....
26 - Let truck roll into ditch, hitch hike home, call the police and tell them it was stolen
27 - Call your boss and tell him the world is out to get you and you aren't leaving the house.
