Hey guys, I've been having an issue with my truck. 2014 Ram 1500 Express with the 5.7 Hemi. Only happens after the truck sits for a while usually through the night. Recently every morning I start the truck and it struggles to start. It will start on the first key turn but it's trying really hard to do so. Used to start with no issues. Will try to get a video tomorrow morning. Anyone have any ideas what this may be?

Do you mean it just cranks longer then you think it should before starting? Saying that it "struggles" really isn't descriptive enough for us to help you.

Hey SamNatal,

Please do post a video. If you're interested in visiting your FCA dealer for diagnosis, I'm happy to help set that up for you.
