Cold Starts, Part 2

[DaveBen]

A while back I was having a problem with the first start of the day, it would not start. So I started to plug it in a few hours before I needed the truck and got along ok for a while. Just this week I was visiting family in the Napa Valley and I could not get it to start even though it was plugged in. I took the truck into my local Dealer and they said that the FICM (fuel Injection Control Module) would need to be replaced. I told them to replace it and tey will keep it over night to verify that it will start in the mornings. We have not had particularly cold mornings, around 45° F. I will let you know if this is the cure all that I am hoping for. I hate battles.

Dave, I know you are a DIY guy so I thought I would pass this along...

Fix Your FICM!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - Diesel Forum - TheDieselStop.com

I guess this may be a little too late to help you but always nice to have diagnostic procedures for the future. Sorry I didn't think to suggest this back on your original post, I guess I thought it would some other cause...

Hope this helps.
