    I currently own a 2009 with 234000 miles, I am the second owner since new. It has suddenly developed a hard start, turning six to eight times before starting. Anything peculiar to look for?

    Start with the basics. Is it throwing any codes? How does it run after it starts?

    The 4.0 has short spark plug intervals, 30,000 miles or 48,000k I believe. So if they havent been done, its time to check.

    The trucks really like mass air flow clean and throttle body clean.

    All 3 of these will help a cold start.
