Default hard time starting

i started noticing that my truck has a really hard time starting in the morning. it takes about 5 sec of cranking before itll start. if i shut it off and wait about 10 min and try to start it while the engine is still warm, it starts just fine. any ideas?

Fuel pressure regulator on top of the fuel pump is most likely bad.
