That's what I think also,I just wanted another opinion,we just recently bought the truck,and other than a tick that I've been told is common with these trucks,I've been pleased

Extremely cold weather affects the battery performance and thickens oil, making it harder to circulate through the engine. Try jump starting the engine from a running engine on cold mornings when it will not start immediately. If it starts right up, suspect battery.
