('07 3500 wlw/5.9l) I live in Phoenix and this is my first summer with this truck. Yesterday afternoon I went to leave work around 4:00pm but had an issue starting the truck. At first, it started fine but only ran for a few seconds before dying. I waited a few more seconds and repeated the scenario. After that, the truck would turn over, and there was no hesitation from the starter, but it would not start. I checked the battery cables, terminals and voltages and everything was good. Around 7:00pm I went to start the truck and it started up as if nothing was wrong. I drove it home, never had an issue with stalling or hesitation. I did not drive it to work this morning because I do not want a repeat of yesterday. I'm wondering if the fuel lifter could be feeling do to the heat of the day.
