Truck will not start
Truck was starting fine, took a bit longer to get going when cold but always started. A few days later, went to turn it over and nothing. It almost seems like the valves are staying closed as it is a labored turn over. Replaced the CPS but still the same story. A slow labored turn over. What do you guys think?

what voltage are they once you charge them and let them sit a few hours?
are all cells full? use distilled water only if low then charge again
have you tried to clean all battery grounds and the pos cable connections? just a small bit or resistance can make the starter turn slower, it needs a lot of amps

Yes, this sounds like a battery/starter/voltage issue to me as well. Slow to turn over is a very good indicator of this.
Have the batteries load tested and the starter as well. Any auto parts store should be able to do this for you.
