Welcome to FTE!!!
It is possible to have fouled the plugs and in the winter this makes it tough to start. Been there with older vehicles. Quick check is to pull a plug and look at it. If it is wet it's fouled. Best cure is new plugs.
My boss has a 2003 King Ranch and his lights dont go off at times and the heater will come on by its self. One day I switched it off for about 30 mins and when I got back it would spin over good but wouldnt crank finaly after about 15 mins it cranked and ran good. the next morning the battery was dead. The dealer came and got it the next day and said the battery was bad. It was good for about 3 months and it has started doing the same thing again. Now im trying to find someone with the same problem. Thanks

One problem I know of that can cause this is dirty injectors. They get a build-up on them from the fuel, and they can drip fuel into the chamber after the engine is turned off. You can see this by putting a pressure guage on the fuel rail, and watch the pressure after you turn the truck off. If the pressure falls fairly quick, then you know the fuel system is leaking down somewhere, and it could be the injectors. They have a cleaning system at the dealer that they can run through the injectors to clean them up. This is a lot stronger than the stuff you put in the fuel tank.
