yes

You're loosing residual fuel pressure or failing to get cold start enrichment/throttle angle commanded by the PCM.  When you shut the thing off, fuel pressure should stay in the injector manifolds/lines from the pump so that you don't have to prime it next time you start the truck.  It sounds like it's bleeding off ifor the ECT isn't reading correctly.

You need to get a scan tool on it and check if the engine coolant temp sensor is reading correctly when the engine is cold and you are having the starting problem.
 
 You should have a shraeder valve somewhere on the injector manifold...in the morning before you start the truck, press the pin and see if there is any fuel pressure...if not, you've got a bad check valve in the pump or a leaking regulator or injector. 

 If it's a leaking injector...the easiest backyard way to probably figure this out is to crank it for about 10 seconds or so and then stop and pull all the plugs....the wet plug is in the hole with the leaky injector. 

If it's under ex. warranty, bring it in to the dealer and let them deal with it.  That's what warranties are for.

sorta funny my filter was on the frame rail! on my 2000...i had a 5.3 truck, but not that body style, wonder how many changes they have made? im guessing because of the e85 it made the pump more expensive! also there are two ways to do the fuel pump and believe it or not option #2 is alot easier just takes a little help...

option one drop the tank, and then pull the pump

option two take the bed off! walah it's right there!

My 03 5.3 was on the Passenger side rail under the bed

then order some!

so i dropped the truck off this morning....and they already called me to tell me its ready to be picked up

failed fuel pump was the culprit.

as far as the electrical issue...they ran a battery test and it failed. said it was low on the amps. it was only 18 months old and was put in there by the dealer...no warrenty  :mad:  ...so i had them put in a new one...$150...but it has a 100% replacement 5 year warranty.

up next - tires.

Vegas heat KILLS batteries. Been through 3 of them in 3 years. All Nissan Batteries, ALL under Warranty!

As far as tires, watch craigslist. Just picked up 4 brand new 18" Continental takeoffs for my Titan on the stock steel rims for $120. Had a tire place swap the tires onto my rims, $52 mounted and balanced. $172 for a full set, beats $180 for each tire plus M&B.

I see takes off all the time for Silverados for $200-$600 Complete.
