Long crank or extended crank Chevy pickup hard start

In this video, I will show you how to easily diagnosis a long crank, extended crank or a hard start on a Chevy pickup truck. 5.7l or 6.0l engines

Just a recap of what you should do first to determine if your long crank before starting is fuel related or not.

First, before you try cranking the engine over, turn the ignition key to the run position then back off without cranking the starter. What this will do is run the fuel pump and in most cases, you will be able to hear the fuel pump running. Do this 3 to 4 times before you try starting it.

If after you have circled the key a few time the engine starts normally then you now know for sure you have a fuel pressure leak down problem causing your hard start.
