Ive combed through the forums here for a few hours and haven't been able to find a solid answer per sey for my problem.
Truck: 1999 C3500 6.5TD w/Kennedy Intercooler, U.S. Diesel parts aftermarket ECM and matching mechanical turbocharger modification to increase boost, U.S. Diesel Parts aftermarket high performance injectors, and the heartland 4" performance exhaust system. This spring, I had a new IP installed, and a new PMD was installed last summer, mounted externally over the left wheel well near the master cylinder. Truck has 174500 miles total, with less than 1500 miles on the IP and 2500 miles on the PMD (I dont drive this truck in the winter).
Problem: When hot, after a modest drive of 10 miles or so with the a/c on, park it and come back in fifteen min or so, it will not start, takes extremely long protracted crank cycle(s) to start.
Observations: On initial key turn to power the pre-start sequence, the WAIT TO START light does not come on for the usual 10-20 sec period of time, rather it blinks on once then off, no usual pump sound under my seat (soft humming sound during the 10-20 second WTS light is on).
When it does start, it cough a huge amount of black smoke and then runs as if nothing is wrong.
Ive searched through here on the hard start probems, and most appear to point to a old IP or PMD both of mine are effectually new. Looked up the lift pump issues and I dont see the problems most of those point out, anyone out there give me a clue or hook me up with a good link to a thread that is the most pertinent to this? it is quite baffling and very frustrating after all of the money I have sunk into this truck. My initial guess is either a lift pump going out or maybe a glow controller? but again after reading through a large number of threads, I am more confused than when I began, any help in pointing me in the right direction will be greatly appreciated!
