Rough cold start.

Wanted to see if any one could give me a quick hand. When the truck is first started, only does this on cold start, it sputters and hesitates to start up almost wanting to stall out on me. Its only on the first cold start when the truck has been sitting over night, after that its starts perfectly fine. Any ideas? Other than possible fuel pump, if that. Already did fuel filter and tried running a couple tanks of premium to maybe clear out any bad gas it may have had.

Sounds like leaky injectors to me.
