Default 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 Heavy Duty Starting Issue

I have a 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 Heavy Duty that runs like a champ however every 6-8th start it turns over for a 5-10 seconds before it finally starts up. Can someone tell my why that is?

How many miles are on it? Spark plugs are due every 30kmi using only cheapo coppers.

dodge says change the plugs every 50,00 KM, a tune up is the best place to start, the Throttle body can get dirty as well. Using mid grade is also wise. I have 85,000 KM on my 06 2500 hemi and I'm on my 2nd set of plugs ( champions )
