He will charge a storage fee, most likely, for not letting him do the work.

After reading some Georgia law, I don’t believe he can charge me a storage fee this early in, without any written contract, without any verbal contract, and without any work being done.

Ignore 13XLTEco. He spews ridiculous assumptions like this all the time.

Fair enough, and no, there shouldn't be any storage fees either.

So what was the problem you brought it in for?

It cranks longer than usual after sitting for a while. Fuel pressure checked out.

Does this happen only with a morning startup or with a hot engine sitting a while?
Could be a leaky injector.
When the fuel pressure test was done was a fuel pressure leak down test also done in addition?

Fck the bridges and fck any idea of a storage fee.
I would pick the truck up and leave and never go back.

Not sure why anyone would put up with this ****!

This is only a cold start issue, by cold I just mean the truck has sat for a while and cooled off. It’s been 90 degrees for the past couple weeks.

I asked if there was any indicator of a bleed. He said no. I’ll double check when I pick it up this afternoon.
