I have a 2002 Dodge Ram V6 2wd pickup. The problem I have been having for at least the past six months is that when the truck is started for the first time at the begginig of the day or after it has been sitting a while it will crank for about 10-15 seconds and then it will turn over. Once it is ran for a while and is warm and is shut off, it will start again with no problem with very little cranking time. It doesn't matter the temperature out because it happened both in the summer and the winter. Could please you point me in the right direction on how to take care of this issue?

Chances are the fuel pressure is droping after it sits and the pump takes a little longer to build pressure. Here is a how to for checking both pressure and pressure drop off. Check it out and let me know what you find.
