I have a '06 duramax diesel that I've had for about a year. It has just over 100 thousand miles.
I have noticed that the past few times I've cranked it that it turns over fine but takes longer than normal to crank.
Today was the first time that I tried to start it and it failed to the first couple times until I mashed the gas pedal. I
let it run and turned it off and it cranked back fine.
My first thoughts are the injectors? The truck is not driven daily. Some times sits for a week or two. It has been
maintained regularly and had not had any other problems til now. Any idea where I need to start? I work a lot but
I'm going to try and get to a shop (please give recommendations) soon. I live in Chelsea Alabama but I am willing
to travel to get quality work. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance
