1. Describe the problem you are having in detail:
I have a 2000 K2500 6.5L and it will not start first thing in the morning, most morinings. Last week it did start 3 times. It seems like if I let it sit for an hour and come back it does start and then runs fine all day. I've searched the forums and seems like most problems are solved with the pms or fsd. I replaced both that and the shut off solenoid. Thinking it would solve my problems. But, the next morning, I got nothing.
