Picked up my new 2022 diesel at the end of August, put on about 1,000 relatively easy miles on the highway / around town over the first 3 weeks.
Finally took it out for a wheeling trip over the weekend and it performed flawlessly. Did about 150 highway miles to the trailhead, and then did about 25 miles on Rattlesnake Canyon trail and a portion of Burns Canyon that runs up into Big Bear. Drove the 150 miles back to LA the next day, and had no issues cruising all the way back, but I did it all in one shot without any stops.
Got back into town and parked it on the street for a few minutes, and then went to re-start it to park it elsewhere. The starter cranks and the main belt is turning, but it seems like there's either no fuel or no combustion. It'll just crank and not actually fire up, and maybe I'm just hearing things, but it sounds unusual while cranking. I let it cool down and tried again, same thing.
I had filled up before I got to the trailhead, so I'd used about 200 miles worth of fuel from the tank before the problem happened so I doubt it's a fuel issue. I'm also using EDT fuel treatment, so hopefully that's nothing to do with it.
Any ideas? I remember reading somewhere that some JTs had issues with wiring harness connectors not being fully seated from the factory, but I can't seem to find it now and otherwise I'm not sure what else it would be. Also doubt it's the fuel pump since it just seems like too much of a coincidence that it didn't croak while driving, only after I stopped it and went to re-start it.
It did get towed to the dealer last night, but I'm not sure how soon they'll look at it.
