Hard Starting 1500

I have a 2006 1500 Classic and at 6000 miles it has become very hard to start once the engine has warmed up. I have changed plugs and see no improvement, any suggestions?
Best regards,
Dave

Not too sure either. My first thought was the evap canister or smog stuff like the air suction valve. Welcome to KF Dave

Are you sure you aren't getting a vapor lock?

Found the problem. It finally quit turning over at all, so I removed the starter and guess what. It was full of oil. Never seen anything like that the seal looked good but the brushes were gone as was the rotor. Put a new starter on and I'm back eating bugs.
