If finally got it started. I tracked down a CPS but now am unsure if that's my problem. Any suggestions?

I replaced the CPS. It seems to be running alot smoother. I guess time will tell.

While under the truck I saw head gasket coolant leaks on both the driver and passenger side, towards the firewall. Yeah! There was a good bit of coolant on the CPS electrical connector.

So, after replacing the CPS yesterday I started my morning w/ a NO start. Ugh!
I literally had to crank it for a good two minutes, in few seconds blast intervals. What else would cause this?

My next thought is the 15-40 I have in there. Temps dropped below 28*F overnight, would the thick weight of the oil inhibit starting. It cranks nice and strong just doesn't fire up right away.


Thoughts????

If It cranks nice and strong, I doubt the oil has anything to do with it.

Maybe a connector had gotten wet and is now corroded/dirty from the mud puddle.
