Engine sound at start
When I first start the truck after sitting all night,it starts ok but it sounds like its got air in the fuel system,you know the way they sound after a fuel filter change when you start them up.I have no fuel leaks,good pressures,so I'am not sure if it is air but thats what it seems like. 
It's my pot and I'll stir it if I want to. If you're not careful, I'll stir your's as well!

Are you sure that this is not normal diesel rattle when the engine is still cold? Is it weather related? Does it go away as soon as the engine starts to warm up and then not show up again all day?

No, this is something that has just started over the past month,and it only sounds like this after sitting awhile.It clears up right after the engine starts,all other starts are crisp and clean.I don't think it is temp related this the second winter with the truck and this did not happen last winter.
