Default Starting Issue, becoming more frequent...

Well, I'm currently out of town right now, and twice today I've gone to start my truck, and it takes 2 or 3 times before it will finally turn over.... I have an 07 with tip start, so it'll sit there and burn the starter for a while and then just give up... It's always done it when the engine's hot, and I just make a quick trip into somewhere, like a gas station or Lowes, not shut off for more than 10 minutes... It done it to me a couple months ago, but only once and I didn't think anything about it...

You guys got any ideas??? It doesn't seem like it's something they could duplicate in the shop as it's only happened to me 4 times now, but it did make me wonder today, I thought I was going to be stranded....

No remote start, plenty of juice, it cranks good, just doesn't turn over....

I'm going to take it to a local dealership here tomorrow and see what they say....
