Update - I got the truck back from the dealer $1066.00 OUCH!!!! They changed out the intake manifold gasket, thermostat due to leaky gasket. I also had them perform the fuel injection flush and the tranny flush. The truck is now running great and have been driving it for 3 days now and no "Check Engine" light, however, it is still hard to start. It takes some cranking to get it running. The dealer did mention that he heard a growling from the exhaust which he believes is coming from the catylitic converter. Could this be my problem for the hard starts? Thoughts?
