Ok well heres what i got. Put about 100 miles on today. Not a hiccup. But it was warmer than ive ever driven the truck and it actually got to 175 degrees. Atad warmer than the previously 165, but all good. The other day i tried to get the same hard start effect but couldnt duplicate it. So i thought id be proactive and do something. I change the coil and cleaned the connections, which were needed. But was not the fix. After a heat soak, and attempted start. Nogo. I didnt do anything but hit the key, crank, no start. Stop crank, went to WOT, crank and started. Duplicated this act a couple times today. So i guess we have a winner. Thanks Justhorsenround. Not to mention all other input. If something else changes, ill update. But i think we nailed it.
