I have a '99 5.3 with 40K miles and it's not as serious as yours but may get there eventually. Several months ago, it would crank excessively long before starting. I got a new battery and fuel filter along with the injectors cleaned by Mr. Goodwrench, but it still persisted. Then, I took it in to a Mr. G., who kept it for two days and said they checked everything, including the alternator, trying it out a few times a day, but of course it didn't happen to them. It happens to me periodically a few hours after I turn it off after running it for about 10 miles. After forty years of driving over 20 vehicles, I've never had this kind of problem before without something being detected. Also, I checked my air cleaner filter, which is less than a year old, and cleaned out very little because it was still white.
