I guess I have a good thing going as far as accidental bump start. Unless I
pull the "Cruise Control Cable" a few clicks, the truck will not start or idle
no matter how hot the engine is.

I don't know why it is like that now, it used to start just fine without doing
it until I had the head gaskets replaced a year ago. Still starts right away
when I put the cable out a few clicks.
