    Intermittently I've been having trouble starting the truck. It will crank, crank and crank and then slowly sputter to life. This has been happening intermittently for quite some time. During my frame restoration I replaced canister and fuel pump so I can safely remove those as possible issues as the start issue happened again today. Any ideas?

    Check your cables at the battery and all grounds in general. Load test your battery.
