2004 LMTV 1078A1

No priming problem in the fuel system. A short crank and it starts but when cold, runs a bit rough for 5-10 minutes.

RR and thank you. When mine sits all night in the high 30's and low 40's, it starts quickly but runs rough as a cob and smokes black and white smoke for about 60 seconds. Once you get a mile down the road, it starts behaving like it was 75 all night. Dodge/Cummins starts in the very cold just...
