Sometimes mine actually seems to crank longer when warm. Other times, there's kind of a slight stumble/buckle right before it fires up. Anyone else notice this?

Could be. I didn't see any record of it being changed. Could it really have lasted 25 years/230k miles though?Could be starter related. Is yours original?

I would say this is as close to what mine sounds like. definitely a roar form the fan clutch when it startsI always get RRrr RRrr RRrr ROAR with the 80 (fan clutch), not the pitiful vroom you guys are talking about...
This was prior. Sometimes I barely touch the starter contact and it fires up with instant authority. My guess is upgraded cables and the 2,150 cranking amp battery.Says the guy that just replaced/ rebuilt everything under the hood.
Wow, this is a funny thread haha. I think videos just speak a thousand words. I am home from college for the first time in like 2 months. Wasn't going to take a video but saw this thread and it got me curious. It's about 10 degrees here in Colorado and it has been sitting on a battery tender. It has 285k, on the stock fuel filter and pump (I know I know they are next up on the to-do list).
Anyways here's how she started
Builds oil pressure right away, no blue smoke or anything
Edited. Sometimes at contact and sometimes a couple rotations..5-2
Edited, ment to put a 2.
Longer when warm can be an indicator of a leaking VSV or saturated charcoal canister. Gas fumes can get pushed back into the intake manifold increasing the fuel-air mix to the point where the engine has to clear it before it can fire.Sometimes mine actually seems to crank longer when warm.

Hm, I also have an intermittent P0401, occasional rough idle in D (especially on start-up), and also an occasional "whooshing" from the gas cap when i unscrew it. Maybe those are all related to the longer cranks.Longer when warm can be an indicator of a leaking VSV or saturated charcoal canister.

@TYM4FUN what’s your primary battery?
I been running the same Odyssey battery for three years now as a solo battery.Past 10 years was a Sear Platinum AGM 31M, it did me good and still works. I took it out though and just installed the Odyssey Extreme AGM31A.
Same. Ran a test and 5+ days I can run the fridge and the truck will still start. That's why I ditched my backup battery, never used it...I been running the same Odyssey battery for three years now as a solo battery.
It can run my ARB fridge for days and still start the truck, powers my puma OBA and 10k winch with out issue. Not cheap but worth the $$
Starts the truck fast.
