Ecodiesel Intermittent Start Issues

My 2017 ecodiesel starts fine for about a month, then one morning it has to be crank over again and again. If I am lucky, it will start. It runs fine when it starts. The last time it did this, it wouldn't start for several days. I changed the fuel filter and it started. The current fuel filter has less than 1000 miles on it, and it was very difficult to start yesterday when I got off work. The truck sat for 13 hours before trying to start it. It never has stalled or failed to start with a warm engine. The temperature is not the issue as I live I. South Carolina. I always get fuel before the tank gets to or below 1/4 tank. I'm afraid this truck is going to leave me stranded one day. Does anyone have any ideas? It is not throwing any codes either.

Is it possibly the fuel pump?
I had a vehicle behave similarly to this for a few weeks, and it turned out to be the fuel pump.

If you buy fuel at the same place every time, go somewhere else. Check your fuel for water.
