Cold truck hot weather

2007 350 the truck sat overnight (15 hrs) I went to start the truck and it had to crank for about 3 seconds which is abnormal for my truck?? It was about 80 degrees outside. Is there any reason for that?

Level ground but it's a 350 so rear is little higher than the front

Mine takes about that long. A long crank would be 30 seconds. Check your ICP pressure, need 500 or more to start. May be developing a HPO leak somewhere.

Just in the morning on a cold start or anytime the engine is warm? High pressure oil leaks start showing you a sign when the engine is Hot. Any previous engine work?

Might want to let it sit again,, then yank the oil filter and pull it up quick and see how high the oil is in the housing. If the level drops in the filter housing, it should be easy to see where the oil level was by looking for a wet line on the filter.
