Weak starter?
My 2000 ram 1500 (5.9 magnum) has an issue starting, I have to rev it to get it to fire most times and if I turn it off and try and start it, it wont start unless I wait about 20 - 30 minutes, then it will start up if i rev it. Ive replaced the battery, alternator, and starter relay, spark plugs were checked, should I just replace the starter or is it something else?

How fast is it cranking? If it's cranking at a decent speed and just not starting, it's fuel or spark. Could be a crank sensor. Get a Mopar or Standard Motor Products sensor. Don't waste your money on BWD, Duralast, or the other parts stores junk.
