6.7 starting
#4
Top's Younger Twin
Other then when I have the wait to start light on, I start asap. 116,000 miles and have not experienced long cranks. It fires within a second or two...never really timed it...seems pretty much fired up instantly.
However, a friend of mine had a similar situation with a very new [less then 5K miles] truck. Just for the heck of it he changed out his fuel filter and it starts quick now. maybe some poor fuel from the factory? Who knows.

check to see if you need an updated flash from dodge I know but there was a TSB about extended cranking times i was also said to pick up 3 MPG or so with just the updated flash. Most have to be plugged into the scan tool to find out which flash they have but a good dealer ship will do this under warranty if you tell them your having the extended crank times. PS eventually the check engine light will come on but i dont remember the code of hand

MMMmmmm.... Grits!!
I always wait for the 5 dings before hitting the start button. Of course the wait to start in the winter, but any other time I just wait for the dings. Don't know why they are there but must be something.
