i was gonna say fuel pressure regulator as well.. theyre cheap and would be an easy thing to start with!

Had a similiar issue with a Jimmy.  Pump takes a minute while cranking to build back up the 60+lbs of pressure to fire it so it takes a while to start it.  Pressure regulator or like in my case a cracked feed line going to the injector under the upper intake plenum are my guess.

wel instead of pullin the intake(the last thing i wanted to do) this truck has EATEN caps and rotors for dinner ever since i got it so i thought id replace it since it had been over a year..... fired right up no hesitation.... wtf loll

Was going to sugjest this
drive like you stole it

old school truck dude

If it does it again, try cycling the key off and on several times before you crank it, sounds like it was losin its prime due to a leak such as leakin injector, pinhole in the line, etc ;D
