Hard start after sitting
Hey everyone I was concerned about my f250 5.8, if I let it sit for a while when I come back out to start her up it takes a while for it to crank. The truck never not starts but it gives me a good 8-10 seconds of turning over. The weird part in this is when I start it up for the first time for the day or when I do drive it then go in a store really quick it fires right up no problem. Seems like if it sits for more than 20 minutes it gives me a problem.
Where should I start on this?

How's the ignition's general condition, maybe she's crying out for a tune up. I would also take a look at the filters as-well, air, change the fuel filter, PVC etc., checking the fuel pressure would be another good thing to look at.
