Another week, another problem
So I took my boy on a camping trip this past weekend and had everything packed and camper hitched on Thursday night so when I got home Friday afternoon from work we could split.......We got into the truck and it took 5-6 cranks to turn over, after 4 I activated the glow plugs for about 10 secs.
Once started she ran and pulled fine. The next day we took a short trip and I again hit the GPs and it sounded a bit weak in start up but it fired after a longer crank than normal. Ditto for the next day when we left. If I get time today I'm going to check the oil level in the HPOP. One of batteries was new last fall maybe its time to replace the other, also I am due for an oil change.....didnt have time to do before our trip  So if all this checks out what should I check next? I only have 138k on the clock, wouldnt think injectors yet.

Re: Another week, another problem
weak battery(ies)=weak starts......that's the first place to look for weak start issues..it take a lot of cranking amps to spin the motor and supply power to the injectors.....at the same time.

Re: Another week, another problem
I was going to start with a battery and an oil change and go from there.
The batteries dont get much 'charge' time since I dont drive too much....usually I go 5 miles up the road a few times a week for baseball or soccer practice.

Re: Another week, another problem

Re: Another week, another problem
My truck had been starting weaker than normal a few days ago. So I did some searching on here and some people said it was their starter/batteries/battery cables....well to be honest I didn't do much about it. Three days later I went to start my truck and it was making a horrible rattling sound under the truck....first thing came to mind was torque converter related! So I slipped under there and noticed the starter solenoid has just...hanging there lol so I pulled the the whole thing off, replaced it and now my truck starts up better than ever!
