I'm not sure about this , but glow plugs at 151K , does that sound normal guys ???
THEN ....
it still runs $hitee when cold , my first thought was GPR. I didn't think about the EBP valve , thats possible. Some guys just use leverage to cycle them by force , which breaks up the crud ...problem solved.
I got tired of changing NAPA GPR's and swapped to a (iirc) White/Rodgers unit. Hefty piece ....still going after three years (Napa was less than 1 yr ea).
Otherwise , when cold and failed GPR , that is how these truck will run. I don't think 50 is cold but if your GPR is bad , it may give trouble. The GPR can stay on up to 2 minutes , which helps them run better right off the bat.
When all is well , my starting doesn't get delayed until it is cold , as in single digits and below. Turn key half way , wait for light to go out , count to five slowly(only when cold) , start.
Starting .. Improperly wired solenoid possibly ? Easy fix. Otherwise , start troubleshooting , I don't think that system should be too hard to chase out and isolate.
Also , just because a part is NEW does not mean it is GOOD. This has been happening more and more lately.
Always replace the batteries in pairs. My preferred brand is DEKA , currently.
I'd do an oil change right off the bat also. I'd bet this guy just uses standard 10w-30.
That price might be kinda high also , IDK , research.....
