Jake, Thanks...your post made sense. Of course, my other systems are in top shape and I know it is simply a matter of not enough air. I've had turbo diesel trucks at this altitude and they usually started just fine. This is my first experience with a non turbo. The truck has over 100K on it...

A turbo is time and money. Neither of which is a luxury right now. I'm trying to find a simple fix. Would rebuilding the IP be a good idea?

I priced a new turbo and at $1700, it is way out of my price range. I would like to fix the problem without too much expense.

I've also noticed that my fuel consumption is much greater. I'm only getting about 11-12 mpg as opposed to the 16mpg at sea level.

I've noticed that my M1009 takes longer to start at higher elevations. I have to crank the engine longer and then it fires right up. I'm living at 6500' right now but when I get down to near sea level, the truck starts right up within seconds. Is there anything that can be done to compensate...
