No wait to start

[SAndreasen]

March of 98 build date 24 valve no wait to start and no preheat on the intake heater post heat cycles are working . Time for a new ecm ??

A dream comes true, finally a Cummins that does it right.

Seriously, everybody tries to disable that Nonsens, your did it by itself. Great.
Or do you start regularly at below 20°F without block heater? That would be the only time you might need it.

Have started a lot of times at 30 below zero and not plugged in on both trucks why wouldn’t you want it ? Rather use ether ?

I think what @Ozymandias was eluding to was that for the vast majority of engine starts, the grid heaters are not needed, especially for post cycling. I have modified mine to be activated by me with the use of a momentary switch.

Regardless, the real concern is your wait-to-start light is not illuminating when the ignition switch is turned on. That could be an ECM issue. Have you checked for any stored codes?

need to find a scanner and check post heat cycle works pre heat doesn’t

I guess it’s better than a pre heat post heat cycle
