Started having an issue a couple days ago. Had to crank the engine over way longer than normal. Drove to work and shut the truck off and it started right back up. Tried about 15 minutes later and the hard start issue returned. The angle the truck is parked doesn't seem to have any effect on the issue. Have tried completely removing the edge comp and it was no help. Checked for any codes, none stored. Checked over the fuel system and didn't have any leaks. Has bluish white smoke when it does finally start. Seems to start easier and faster if I give it a little throttle while cranking. Runs great after getting it started. --- Update to the previous post... Thought it could possibly be the injectors leaking into the cylinders causing it to be hard starting.

I had bought a hot start engine heater from a buddy a year or so ago and am just now getting around to installing it. Well I am looking for ideas on how to mount it. The bracket they send you is absolute garbarge. So if any one on here has one please let me know how you mounted it. Thanks You can see a picture of the heater I here: http://hotstart.com/home/products/tank-style-engine-preheaters/small-tank-style-heaters-tps-models/

I know from looking over the net, and exploring the site this could be many things, but I really need help with this. My 2001 Dodge 2500 starts perfectly when cold. The truck is hard to start AFTER it is brought up to normal operating temperature and attempt to restart after shutdown. It cranks for a bit, finally turns over, and then blows a bit of black smoke and runs perfectly.It does have the relay installed that shuts off power to the VP44 while cranking (this fixed the hard starting I experienced before). I have replaced this relay to make sure that this is not the reason for the problem now. I replaced the lift pump two years ago. It is a FASS DDRP2. I have a dash mounted fuel pressure gauge that is showing good pressure, at idle and WOTI took it to the dealer, wanting to get a reflash. They said that there was no reflash available for my truck. They told me that I would have to wait because their best diesel mechanic was busy that day. I said no problem, I want the best. They call and tell me the stock lift pump needed to be replaced with one that goes in the tank. They couldn’t believe that the original lift pump was still in the truck! (I started thinking there was another pump I hadn’t replaced!) Then we go out to the truck, and I couldn’t believe that they were looking at the FASS pump with me, (we both saw the FASS stickers on the pump) and they were telling me it was the Original PUMP! Needless to say I picked up the truck and now need your help in figuring out how to fix this. Sorry for the long post. Thanks.
