Alright, I got the truck back about a week ago. Jasper was great and handled everything very responsibly. It turned out to be an IP issue, no money out of my pocket and i'm happyish.
The past few days i've been checking on any sort of kinks i may have. The block heater doesn't work, i bought it brand new to install in the jasper engine so that was a waste because i'm not about to drain all my coolant out to replace it right now. So without the block heater, i'm relying on glow plugs. Everyone here brags about how well theres starts and runs in the cold temperatures. However, when mine is sitting in the mid 30s, it doesn't want to start. Glow plugs kick on with about 10 seconds or so, and it tries to start but usually sounds like it's choking for fuel then stalls. What gives? Plugs are new, solenoids new, controllers new, IP is new, oil, filters, etc.
Also, I'm only getting about 150miles average out of either tank. I drove to work today (about 40 minute drive) went through a quarter tank. Came home, went through another quarter. I don't think i'm actually sucking up that much fuel so is it just a cluster issue or tank related? It's getting to be a pain filling up every single morning.
