I just think it's an old engine. It gets hot and doesn't want to start. It spins over fine and once it pops it runs fine. When it cools down it'll start pretty easily. I probably should have given it tune up before I left home but it was running great and I just ran.out time. No matter as long as I give it a little push it'll start right up. The truck has character, some have said the real character is behind the steering wheel.
