Mine would never fire right up....so to speak. My glow plugs haven't been working for years, I would use a snort of ether for the first start of the day. After that it would start right up (less than 3 seconds of cranking) once it had been warmed up. Yesterday evening, when I got home from work, I went over to my truck, turned the key and let the fuel pump run for about 5 seconds, than put the pedal on the floor and cranked over the engine, after about 6 seconds of cranking she fired right up. No ether, no glow plugs, and the truck hadn't run for 24 hours before that. I was pretty impressed with that. My old 86 F350, with the better part of 1/4 million miles on it, will start up faster than my dads '01 GMC Duramax.
