Truck stalls on cold start. Runs fine after the stalling. 103k hasn't been tuned up yet. Still using factory parts. Thought is was bad gas for minute but if it was it would it do it all the time on a cold or hot engine. I know the starter needs replaced.

Also the other day I loose power on cold start. I turn the key no power. After turning the key on and off a few times got it to crank but it was a hard start.

I would start small with doing the plugs, then budget for some wires and see how that goes.

Fuel filter also would be a good idea, I don't think that has much to do with your problem right now but it would be prudent to get it done.

Like Jarrod mentioned. I'd change the plugs, wires, cap and button, and the fuel filter as well. You could have a vacuum issue as well. :dunno:
