hard start problem fix?

Feathering the throttle is fairly normal operation on cold starts AFAIK. and 50 bucks sounds good for them to check timing and harness, but I would clarify as to which method they are using for timing. Ask if they will use pulse or luminosity, and if they cant answer that I would re consider.

they said they use pulse

prob should have posted this update a lil while ago but anyway, she starts instantly now! clean battery terminals (the pos on pass side was a little crusty and loose) and rotella synthtic 5w40 make her start like a brand new diesel, it cold starts decently to (sometimes i cant plug it in at work), it just smokes a little and rattles the cab a bit but then smooths out quickly
