If its cranking, how would the starter be bad? Lol.
First thing to check with that description is residuel fuel pressure. The regulator should hold pressure at rest. If its failing it bleeds down and takes a few extra seconds to get fuel back into the rails so it will start.
Yeah it's not the starter. The fuel pressure thing is exactly what I thought too, how do I check that? It seems like this is what the problem is to me.
Starter/alternator/battery
Would be hard to say starter or alternator considering they only starting making these trucks in 05.
Battery(well of it's relatively new) do you play your radio a lot with the truck off or have you left your lights on?
Maybe you gotta clean the rerminals
I've never left my lights on and I don't usually play the radio with it off. It may be the battery but I don't think it is because the issue isn't that it turns over slowly and causes the problem, it actually turns over just like normal, it just has to turn over alot more than normal. Ill check my terminals when I get home though. And I might get the battery checked just to be sure though
Are you running an X-1? I remember hearing about starting issues. Have you tried turning the key to on, letting it is a few seconds then turning it over?
Nope I wish I could say I had an x1 though...And just out of habit from having a 97 Cherokee I always leave the ignition turned on for a few seconds before cranking it.
my truck did that when i had the mk-1 kit every since i sold it the truck starts up perfect everytime
Yeah mines had the mk1 since I got it but just started doing this recently... I'll have to get a video when I get home and see if we can get any closer to what this might be. But I'm leaning towards the fuel pressure regulator though.
