First start of the day is hard. Struggles to fire up. Battery checked out good, starter checked out, alternator checked out. After the first start up in the morning, it cranks up just fine throughout the day. Any leads on what the issue could be?

Hope someone can help you with this issue ~ my rig powers up right away but it doesn't get cold here in my neck of the woods.

my 4.7 acted like that, always worried about the 1st start then the rest of the day I was good. Replaced the starter and haven't had a issue for a year.

Might want to check your battery terminals. Make sure you have good contact with the battery.. if its necessary clean the terminals and your clamps...
