RE: Starting issues 2006 2500
I have the same rig you have '06 2500 CTD and it normally starts after a second or two. A couple of times it did not, with all the electronic's on these new engines today I never run the starter that long (7 to 10 seconds), if it won't start within its normal time of a couple seconds, I shut the key off wait a couple seconds and it always starts on the second try.

RE: Starting issues 2006 2500
Same issues here. It mainly happens when it is hot outside or after I've been towing my trailer around town. Let's see......so far I have had the loud thump when I hip bumps, the slow to start when warm and my radio cuts out when my stupid NEXTEL phone changes towers (the manual says this is normal). However, I love my truck! I wouldn't give it up for the world.

RE: Starting issues 2006 2500
I too experienced some longer than expected crank times although they were so sporadic that I didn’t see a pattern as to temp, towing etc. The thing that caught my eye was the engine light. Again periodically it would come on (stay on after start) until I stopped, restarted, got to destination, etc.
Took it in, they downloaded (flashed) the fix and haven’t had any further probs. Mine started about 3K also and now at 8.5K with no reoccurrence.
