Oh yes, he also told me that if I leave the truck for extended periods of time, it's hard to start, and it's true. It does take a lot of cranking to get it to go (after sitting like a week, starts normally if used daily). It was mentioned here that I should look at the idle air motor too, and I will one of these days. So far, I can live with it.
