Parking downhill overnight keeps the oil in the HPOP from draining past a weak shaft seal, it's a good way to rule out cold start problems that point to a weak HPOP seal on the early builds. It does mean a new HPOP yes.
If you are parking down hill at work and it's startin good then likely not the issue, but depending on how long you work versus truck is at home it's still maybe worth a try.
Do you live in a warm climate?
If not, then I would imagine the GP's probably work, or it would start hard after sitting all day at work as well.
Just got off work... parked downhill. About 70° outside. Started 1st turn and chugged a little then smoothed out.. driving 30min home then will repost after warmed up info
