99 Durango won't start after driving
I've got a 99 Durango that won't start after driving it. It will start fine when it's cold or just around town. When I drive it 25 to 30 miles, or more then shut it off, try to restart it I get nothing. No clicking nothing. All the electric works I can listen to the radio, roll the windows up and down. When I turn the key all the gauge lights work, but it won't turn over, I get nothing. I've replaced the starter, and the starter relay. After it sits for half an hour it will start right up, and run fine.
Thanks in advance

Could be the battery believe it or not. Take out the battery and have it load tested and clean your terminals real good. Other than that could also be a burn in the wires going to the battery so feel them all the way down and clean the negative wire to ground connection while you are at it.

could be the PCM...well known D fault...it shuts the vehicle down when its gets too hot.
mine blew on my 99 D in 2006...only solution is replace, but the new one put an extra cylinder of power on the engine for the price.
some people have put a bag of ice on the PCM to cool it off...try it next time and see if the D springs back to life...

I was going to mention a few other things, but was waiting for the results of kevs post, this way to see if we have power where and when we need it.
could be a bad ignition switch
could be PCM getting hot (as mentioned) has something to do with a resistor in it that causes this.
Park neutral issue, easy way to see if this is the issue is set the parking break, turn the key on, put it in reverse and see if the reverse lights come on. This will tell ya if your neutral park switch on the tranny is working (most of the time).
the other is shifter out of adjustment, you can visit your local auto parts store and read threw the haynes book (or down load the manual from pdftown.com) and learn how to adjust it correctly.
Well that should give ya a few ideals...
