so far, ive been going to work put in a day and come home. trucks been starting, but just cold starts
. adjusted the fipl tonight and installed a reman starting motor. I love the top bolt on the starting motor. tasted the tire, tasted the front spring, eat some gravel and burnt my wrist. but she started up when warm.
probably should take you up on the timing and visit cawston!.

13mm swivel socket and a 6" extension makes short work of that top starter bolt.
im able to get the extension inbetween the solenoid and the starter motor.

So your truck is starting up fine hot now?
I had issues starting hot for a while, but also trouble starting if it was anywhere near freezing or below. Upgraded to electric lift pump and new starter and she fires right up every time, hot or cold.

A slow crank speed can affect starting when hot. If your crank speed is not in spec, then the cold water helps congeal the fuel which can overcome the issue. It's not a recommended patch. Verify that you are turning at least 150 RPM when cranking. Otherwise, it's time for another IP.
The trick I used on the top starter bolt was a 3/8 drive air ratchet, a ~3 inch extension and a deep socket. The deep socket and the extension was just the right length to put the air ratchet right in front of the starter. Popped the bolt loose, depressed the lever and backed it right out. Helped the starter fall to the ground. Hoisted the replacement back in there, used the same setup and buzzed the bolt right back in..... just to be clear on the tool I am talking about:
These are a handy little tool. Use it more than you would think, plus it is not an impact wrench, so it doesn't get near as tight as an air impact will......

yes it seems to start hot. probably could have saved some monies if I went with a new starting motor first. the starter looked new that's why I didn't replace it. I guess the PO burnt it up when trying to start it with the bad lift pump.
anyway, certainty didn't hurt installing the IP. ill give her injectors in a couple weeks. I bet they are the originals anyway, cause their still gray paint on them, If that means anything!....
