You could always say you thought it was still DST. I think that's what I'm going to do.

I think on the first day back from vacation they might not buy that excuse.

You should be able to ease into the routine, rather than just ump back in with both feet.

I was thinking the same thing as I was attempting to work on a spread sheet this afternoon but my attention span seems to be extremely short today.

Went and got gas in the truck after work. I got back in and went to start it and all it did was flash the lights and click, even after I took the key out of the ignition. Took about 3 mins then it started right up. Got home and started it up 5 times then let it sit for 10 mins and start it up 3 times without a problem. Not too sure what's wrong with it.

Could be your fuel pump control module.
It's above your spare on the frame cross member....
Check it for corrosion.
Or
Check your battery and/or terminals.....

I was thinking about the module. I've been wanting to check it but am afraid of what it looks like I checked the battery connections when I got home and they are tight and clean. I just disconnected the battery 2 weeks ago to reset the PCM. I'm hoping it's just the battery.....

Worst part of all was a Chevy was infront of me. Didn't make the ol Ford look too good.

I'm sick too Dave... I never do either. My throat is ugh. That rarely happens.


Matt, I took care of my module. I think there was some excess freaking out over it on these forums. The guy that discovered it and brought it to everyone's attention on here actually lives one town over from me, small world huh? Think of it this way bud, all the gazillion of these trucks that are on the road and are still running ok. I love this site, but let's face it, many people come on here (forums in general) to just give their problems with the trucks. It's like the saying, do something good and someone tells two people. Do something bad and they tell 10 people. Our community is tiny compared to the amount of trucks that are being driven on the roads. So take it with a grain of salt. I keep my spare tire in the bed, but when I had new tires put on, the shop put it back under the truck. In July, my dad and I pulled off the spare again and prepped it and lubricated the tire lift. On top of that we looked at the FCM. It was cracked on the mounting material, not the plastic module itself. Not from it breaking while driving, but from the factory my dad thinks. It is in such a crappy place and the mounting point is uneven. There are two bolts holding in on the truck, so that pressure causes a crack. My dad water sealed the mount with a commercial grade sealant and used anti corrosive stuff on the area as well. I forget the steps but he did a nice job. It still looks great. I would check it out, but that really sound like a battery to me, and my gryphon had more draw so the sucker didn't start until I used an insta jumper.
