Default Truck won't start once it's been run for awhile.

Hi- I have a 2007 3/4 ton dodge cummins diesel truck. Only 65K on the meter .
Lately the truck will not start after it has been driven and parked 3-4 times. The key goes in, the lights all flash- but no starting. I usually have to sit there about
10 minutes and try again- it will eventually turn over- but it is really ragged like it doesn't want to go- Weird thing is it will start up from weeks of sitting cold-no problem. It's only after it's been run that and warmed that this happens. ANY insight would be appreciated! Thanks

Tested the battery? Checked the battery terminals?

Sounds like no crank? Ignition switch. Bad starter

Thanks for the input. I put two new batteries in about 10 months ago. I will get the starter checked.

I was replying to the other thread somehow using my phone to do this is not working well.

SO it cranks fine and no start?
If so it sounds just like my crank position sensor problem.
