We resently had the lift pump replaced, after that we could smell fuel, it will start cold (a little hard), it will start hot, not warm. We took it to the next place, the first a dealer would not stand behind his work, and the 2nd replaced the Cumins computer for a mere $2800. It is just a bad as before. Any suggestions will help greatly.

 

You must have a fuel leak and it's letting air into the system when its shut down. Have a look around the lift pump.

 

Makes sense, Thanks!!

 

start the truck and look under the engine where the blow by tube is and see if there is what looks like smoke coming out if it. if there is put your hand done by it and then smell your hand if it smells like the diesel fuel then you have a injector blown. check the oil to see if it is over full.

 

I will try that. I see your from Georgetown, I use to live in Lexington. Thanks for the advise.

 

did you have any luck with your problem? do you still live in the area?
