starter or...............
Since getting my truck back recently I have been starting it more and driving more this past couple weeks. But today it seems to not want to turn over when warm. It was like a slow chug or very slow crank. eventually it starts. the thing that throws me off is first thing in the morning when engine is cold it starts perfect. just seems once engine is warmed up is when it does not want to turn over. so is the starter or ....................

back from suspension work.
battery is couple years old. spark plug wires seem good. Have not checked spark plugs since I had to get to work. Post is clean all tight. Engine temp stayed normal...
drove to store, took 10 minutes in store, car didn't wanna turn over. Got home turned it off then on immediately, slow crank. When I get home tonight I will see if it starts cold. But this morning it started cold just fine... I don't think its the ignition coil since it ran fine..... but today also noticed a oil drip leak. could not see where it was coming from, but don't think that has anything to do with it.

I'v had worn out starters do that after the engine gets warmed up and picks up heat from the exhaust pipes . Good start cold but bad start hot. The "chug " you put in there ,not sure of what you mean.
