2009 Sierra SLE (Slow Starting)
I posted this in another area but wanted to get out to the whole FORUM.
Here is my truck specs.
2009 GMC Sierra 5.3L V8 (6-Speed) Crew 50,000 miles
How about this one. I went for a ride yesterday (after letting the truck sit in my garage for 3 days not driven) and it was a little slow to start. I went for a 10 mile ride to the gas station and it was the same when I started there. Took a 2 second time frame to start. Then I went another 10 minles and sat for 15-20 minutes. I told my friend "I bet you it will take a few seconds to start.." And behold it took about 4 seconds to finally turn over and start.
Battery seems fine since when it starts there are no dim lights and voltages show 14 +.
Also when not running the lights and power are fine. I just installed the NEW DIC (It was a cake walk to do).
What do you think my issues might be? I hope the dealer corrects this since I only put 200 miles on it!
Here is the warranty that I have left on the truck. Would this issue be covered?
Warranty End Date
PowerTrain Limited Warranty 12-10-2013
Corrosion Limited Warranty 12-10-2014
Emission Select State Component Lty Warranty 12-10-2015

Do you have any after-market accessories installed? This issue can be caused by after-market accessories being installed into the ignition switch wiring.
Items covered under the Powertrain Warranty are available at: GMC Owners | Warranty Coverage and Information | GMC
If you continue to experience this issue, I encourage you to consult with a certified technician for an inspection.

It can be difficult to diagnose issues like this over the internet. I'm sorry, but I am not a technician. I recommend contacting a technician in your area for additional information. They should be able to offer an official diagnosis after inspecting the vehicle.
