Hard to start

I keep everything maintained and up to date. What are some reasons my truck is hard to start. I mean it sometimes takes 3-4 seconds of holding the key on before it'll crank. Sometimes it won't crank at all and I have to try again. My friends that have Dodge diesels and my 04.5 started up very easily/quickly.
thanks Jamie
