Just had an identical truck with same issue. Cummins ISM with Daveco Fuel Bowl. Replaced the check valve in the fuel bowl. Part #DVC 101132
Not every problem is the same though.
You did not post important INFO. Engine typeHeavyd Thanks this. -
Same Cummins ISM -
The motor is a Cummins ISM
The check valve fixed your problem? -
Yes With the check valve not holding prime it will cause hard starts and poor suction of fuel. This would be where I would start for sure. Cheap and easy.
-
Thanks. I'll start there.
-
If that doesn't fix, check to see if there is a starting relay signaling the computer to fire the injectors. Prolly not tho'.
Buy the Davco wrench too. Seem to remember they market a kit w/extra seals & check valve (s). -
Thank you. Replaced the Check Valve. The old and new were different sizes. When I changed the first filter is when the truck started not starting without help. The ball must have changed positions enough not to create a seal. The new part worked great. It now starts on its own again. Still cranks a little longer than I would like, but at least it is firing up. Thank you for your help!
