Default Having trouble starting?? Please help!!

Guys I need your help. The past 2 mornings my when I start my truck it runs real real rough and barely starts then dies. Then when I go to start it again it cranks for like 10 seconds then finally starts. But this is the only time it does it. Throughout the rest of the day though it starts just fine. I did get gas the night before it started this but if it was bad gas wouldn't it be all the time and wouldn't it run rough? I was thinking fuel filter, do you guys have any other ideas?

Sounds like the problem I had and it was the fuel pressure regulator. Maybe give it a try.

Id check fuel pressure, fuel filter, the FPDM could be going out. Moisture/corrosion will take it out slowly. showing symptoms for days before it actually fails. Still could be bad gas though.....
