looks like you found the problem I was gonna say I had a similar problem back in the early summer. I had to replace the battery my cold crank amps where shot truck wanned to start but would not.. had to run the key a few times
Yeh glad I fixed it too. First truck I have had since 1997. I have always worked 50+ miles from my home so couldnt afford the gas on a truck and I finally moved a mile from my current job! Besides the starting issue the truck has been fantastic. Already modded my intake, resonator delete (sounds awesome with the stock muffler) and have done a IAT relocate.
Wasnt the wiring. Happened again today near a pep boys so I took the battery out and had it tested. Battery failed immediately when they put a load on it. So bought a new battery and that has seemed to fix the issue but who knows
Well looks like it was the battery all along. Drove it around for about 45 minutes today and even sat in some stop and go traffic. Ever time it started up fine.
Atleast you shouldnt have any more problems with it. A bad battery can cause some real problems even if it starts your truck. They eat alternators for breakfast.
