The only change is the time it now takes to start. The cranking sound of the starter motor and engine are as fast as before this problem, so it doesn't seem to be a battery/charge.
It's just taking longer to fire. Has to be a fuel issue ? When I installed the secondary filter I used the primer on top of the OEM fuel filter to fill the Secondaries Filter resulting in the water bowl to be full of fuel? Mine is installed lower than I would have liked as I hadn't made a bracket so its bolted back firewall. If I can find some red braided fuel line i will move it higher and add a hose to the bowl.
The air filter was installed out of the bag, the wrong way at first ehe.
On the way home the turbo seemed not wanting to do any boost. Sitting at 80 km/h on the fway in 4th, put my foot down and all i get its black smoke and my EGT's screaming to 600C i'm like wtf.
I saw on a "4wd show" last night who one of their "sponsors" saying you shouldnt tow in 5th gear is that correct ? Something about 4th gear being 1:1 wheres 5th is at the back and puts extra load on the gears.
ps.
Maybe this should be in the rant thread.
