Long Crank on the 6.7
#7
i was just about to post about this problem.. my long crank is intermittent also. sometimes it will start right up within a second sometimes takes about 4 seconds it only takes long like 30-40 percent of the time though..does anyone think this is a problem?
Dont ask why but i ran out of gas before with but put a gallon in bumped the starter and it started right away. read that there is no prime button like the old 5.9s

I have found that If I just jump in my truck and try to start right up sometimes I get a longer crank time. If I let the chime ring once I find it cuts down on the crank time.
But relatively, its still a rather long crank time compared to my '90. That sucker fires off on a half spin of the starter.

I am having the same problem sometimes it starts right up and other times it takes a few seconds hope it is not going to be a big problem. I did notice the other day after a road trip of 400 miles and the batteries fully charge it started right up everytime so i am wondering if it might be the batteries going bad

Ive already had to replace the batteries on mine. Passenger side was bad. It wasnt a long crank issue though. It was a no crank issue.

If you treat it like a computer and let it boot before you start, it seems to keep it from having to catch up on the go. Even without the grid heaters, I let it sit for 5 seconds before cranking. The 97 is "dumb" and only needs a spin to get the fuel going, no computer there to fool with..

I was just thinking. That may also have something to do with the long tip start cycle on the new '10's that pop up every once in a while.
