Hard start

I went on a camping trip this weekend, everything started fine but about 3 hours into three drive, after stopping for a break, no new fuel added, the truck started weird.

Hoped in, cranked the engine. Didn't start like it usually does after a few seconds. Tried it again, nothing. Engine just cranks over.

I tried several times and the last try it finally started. I had to crank the engine a good 45 seconds to a minute though. Even when it fired up it sputtered to a start. Once it's running everything is great. Plenty of power, smooth idle and all. The truck starts consistently this way now.

Frequent oil changes. Full synthetic.

Fuel and air filters changed.

I don't what else to add here.

Welcome to FTE.

Can you tell us more about your truck? Year, engine, transmission, mods, stuff like that?
