I've noticed recently when it has been raining or damp out that when I start my truck there seems to be a delay in the start up. It always starts on the first try but seems to hesitate. Any suggestions? I'll try to take a video the next time it rains so that might help.

Is it when you do a remote start or when turn the key manually? Does the engine turn over longer than usual or does it take a moment to turn over at all?

I noticed it on manual starts and it doesn't turn over longer, just a hesitation between last turn over and fire up. Wonder if it is mosture build up or something?

Maybe moisture inside something or corrosion on the starter terminals. Its still under warranty, take it to the dealer and let them take a look at it.
