Hard Starting 97

if it isn't one problem its another, however, i still love driving it when its running. My truck has a hard time starting all the sudden. it doesn't matter if the truck is hot or cold, it is 100 degrees outside so i can't imagine glow plugs are an issue. I have no smoke coming out. I have had both batteries checked and they are fine. It just wants to take 20- 30 seconds of cranking to finally start. Just a side note, it will start immediately if I pop the clutch while rolling. Any suggestions?

How fast is your starter turning the engine over? Batteries in good condition.
