Default fuel flow type issue

here's my speel, the trucks formed a habit of struggling to start, i concluded its an issue in the fuel line since the sensors aren't throwing a code and i can pump the gas pedal when the truck starts but dies and revive it, whats yalls take?

What preventative maintaince have you done and when. Could be a combination of things like plugs needing to be changed along with a semi clogged fuel filter or bad plugs with dirty injectors. Lots of combinations if you have fallen behind on maintaince.

ive done sparkplugs, fuel filter, air filter, seafoam, and chemtool once or twice a month depending on how many fill ups i do, oil changes are kept up, my uncle thinks its a sensor but i wouldve thought it would have thrown a code, i noticed too that when the trucks facing uphill, the problem is alittle worse. No problems once im on the road though.

That could of been the problem all along. Mine has been hesitant to start for about the last 6 months, it cranks for about 3-4 seconds. Sometimes it will crank in under a second, just luck of the draw lol
