2007: “This truck has developed an intermitten starting problem. Ambient temperture seems to have some bearing on the frequency of the occurance, for example when I visited colorodo having much lower temperature than in south texas, I had zero occurances and when I returned to high 80 plus tempuratures the problem has become a daily if not every restart inconvience. Having to wait from 10 to 20 mins. Befor trying to restart the engine. Once started it runs like a top even restarting immediately after accidental clutch dump stall issues. …”
