<div class="bbWrapper">Hey All,<br /> First post, so here goes: I have a &#039;23 Power Wagon, which has been awesome. However, 1 issue I have noticed (aside from the cold start bird chirp), is a very sporadic extreme long crank before starting. <br /> <br /> 99.5% of the time, its a 1.5 second crank and boom she&#039;s fired up....however that other 0.5% (I know of 2 times, wife says she has had it about 5-6 times) it will sit there and turnover for 10-12 seconds, and just as the safety cut off is about to engage, she grabs and fires up. <br /> <br /> Just wondering if anyone else here has experienced this, and has a fix, or is currently trouble shooting it? I have gone to my local dealer, but they don&#039;t have much to offer, as of course they wanna tell me it&#039;s probably just a glitch, damn those electronics....Yeah ok, cool...not the answer I want from them lol. So figured I would check here on the internets before trying to call around to dealers 2-3 hours away, lol.<br /> <br /> Thanks</div>

As you said, it&#039;s infrequent but troubling when it happens since it&#039;s so noticeable.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">You may be onto something. My commute is less than 5 minutes each way so I may be killing the battery and not driving it long enough to charge. That should be easy enough to determine. Thanks for the suggestion.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Happened to me. Had long cranks two times in a row. Then I was unable to pop the tailgate with the truck off. Needed new battery.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Miss the days of turn the key and it will try and crank until there is no more juice, instead of voltage is a little low lets go haywire.</div>
