i got the same problem with mine i think it might be a injector pump. is there any way to test some of this stuff before i go blow 500 on a new ip pump? or god knows what else might it be?

If the truck runs fine when it's going, then I doubt it's an IP problem. Air intrusion and bad glow plugs are the most typical causes of hard cold starting. Check your return lines and hose connections for leakage, make sure your fuel filter is still tight. If you know the plugs are bad then change them out for some motorcraft plugs.

I know that when I had 2 dead glow plugs, it could take 2-3 tries to get my truck started.
