Pictured is the truck, she's been great but has a couple issues.

1st. - When cold, hard to start, if I turn the key on 4 times, then crank it, starts right up. If not requires some spinning. I am thinking fuel pump, or a cracked hose bleeding pressure in tank.

2nd. - ABS and Brake Light come on more often than not. No clue why, only code she is throwing is asking for a good tune up.

I had those same 2 issues. The ABS and brake light still come on. I fixed the hard starting by putting a check valve in the fuel line between the filter and the tank.

 

My abs light was caused by bad front wheel bearing assembly.

 

The fuel pressure regulator can cause the prolonged crank

Check the fuel pressure with a gauge to verify the pressure drops after a few hours. Then try the pressure on the line from the tank. That should point you in the right direction.

ABS issues are common and often are the sensors, which are part of the hub/bearing.
