[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 64960, member: 82"] Sounds like the alternator may be bad. Not sure i'd bother with the fancy oil treatments unless there is a problem. I'd give it a good run, then change the oil. For starting, when really cold, throttle it up a little, go into the engine bay and press the button on the injector pump, it should drop down. Crank it and see how it starts. The alternator, if it is not wired right, it will drain the battery. I hooked mine up to a buzzer and light so i knew when the key was not turned off. This had a tendancy to drain my battery. While you are doing filters, with the cab off, the block i mentioned. 3 hoses on the left, remove the middle hose and fitting. There is a hidden bronze filter in here. Clean or replace it. Not many people know it's there. When clogged, you loose a lot of drive power. This is why i got mine so cheap, when i found out what the problem was, it was awesome. [/QUOTE]
