    Lately the truck has been havig a hard time starting. It crank a lot then two seconds later it starts. It's not the battery bc it has a fast normal crab the engine just dose t fire right away. Let it run two min turn it off then start and it's fine. It can't be bc it's to cold bc it's 32 and it was fine when it was 15 out. I'm stumped.

    Yeah but your not getting gas right away which means fuel. Just a thought. You could always try and run some heet through it and see if that helps.

    Always could have starter tested to be safe

    I would check the fuel pump.

    Next time you go out to start it (cold) Turn key on, count to 5, key off. Key on, count to 5. Engine start.

    That should prime the fuel lines if there is a problem there. Otherwise, get the starter checked
