Well now my truck has another starting issue.

It is bear to start even when warm, takes alot of cranking. Fuel pressure is good.

The best way I can describe it is like this:

It feels like I have weak batteries and cranking is slow till it speeds up near the end and starts.

But my batteries are just fine.

Do starters get weak?

Thanks
 
Starters do need to be rebuilt at some point for sure. Could be your issue, or it could be corrosion on the battery harness causing a voltage drop to the starter...
 
You know what get's neglected alot on these trucks is the negative battery cables. RockAuto is a great place to get replacements for cheap.
 
Well performed all the voltage checks in the FSM.
Everything is in spec voltage and connection wise.
Looks like the starter might be getting weak.
