Longer cranking time

I've had my 6.0 for a couple of months now. It seems as though it takes a few seconds to fire up after the engine is warm. On cold start the truck fires up instantly. Am I just being paranoid? It's probably taking 3-4 seconds to start when warm. is this a symptom of something or normal.
It's an 07 with 75K on the clock. Oasis report said no problems and a couple minor warranty issues from po. I have searched and could find nothing on this.

Thanks

Mud

Long cranking when hot is an indicator of a HPO system leak. Search the forum for STC fitting or HPO leak and start reading.

3-4 seconds is normal 8 seconds or more is something to worry about
