hard start/long crank

hey guys, my 07 6.0 has been taking longer and longer to start lately.today it started after a long crank and ran great to the jobsite. about 15 minutes later i got back in and tried startin but it just cranked and cranked. no start. checked all fuses and relays. all were good. finally it started. i got to next jobsite turned off, then 20 minutes later started fine and drove to a supply house 15 miles away. thats where it wouldnt start for 45 minutes. i tested batteries and read 12.5 on both independantly. tested FICM and read 48v wit key on/engine off and 48v while cranking... anybody got ideas why it would start when motor is cold and not start while hot? thanks

Sounds just like your 6.0L is due for a set of dummy rail plugs and an STC fitting replacement by what you describe.
