The truck had 88,000 miles on it, but we put a new engine in it when we bought it, so the current engine has just 11,000 miles on it. It performed very well for several months, but then developed a starting problem.
It always starts first thing in the morning, and always starts after the engine has been off an hour or more. But the problem occurs when we need to stop at a few different places for a short period of time, starting and stopping the truck after only a few minutes. (If I run errands in town - a quick stop at the bank, then the grocery store, then the post office for example, it's likely not to start the second or third place).
At first the problem seemed to be that it was flooding. We found out it needed a new catalytic converter. We thought that had solved the problem, but it's back again. It may go a week without the problem, then it happens again.
Runs well and we'd like to keep it a long time.
Seats are a little uncomfortable for a long drive, but we don't use it often for those kind of trips.
Biggest issue is finding the cause of the intermittent starting problem.
It could be the starter.
Check the fuel pump. Mine had same issue. Have had to replace the fuel pump 3 times. The last time I upgraded fuel pump, and since then no problem.
