Default Starting Problems

I am having problems with my truck starting all the time. I have had my truck for 5 years and only had this problem in the last year. It only does this here and there and could act up in the morning and not at all later that day. So like I was saying sometimes I try starting it and it does nothing. No sound no click, the battery is fine, the starter is fine and I don't seem to have any wiring problems what so ever. I learned after a while that if I turn the key and hold it that eventually it will start. Lately it has been taking longer and longer to turn over, up to 3 minutes sometimes, but when it does it turns over perfectly with no loss of power. Just yesterday it was messed up all day but today has worked perfectly. Also I have a Prestige alarm system with remote start on it and have noticed that my remote start feature could have something to do with it. PLease any suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys I didn't think about the solenoid and I don't use my remote start anymore due to this problem so I will just have that part removed.
