Default Truck won't start

Drove the truck to lunch today with no problems but when I tried to leave it wouldn't start. All the electronics worked fine when I turned the key but when I tried starting it wouldn't crank or anything. After a few tries it finally started but now the CEL is on, it runs fine though.
Any ideas?
I'll reset the computer and see if that helps anything, its frustrating stopping somewhere not knowing if the truck will start back.
Its my first CEL at 13500 miles

I would definitely take it in to have it looked at. Maybe they can scan it and figure out what went wrong?

CEL is short for Check Engine Light.

I figured out a while ago that the remote start is screwed up too. It starts remotely but it runs for about 10 seconds and shuts off. The EVIC says "remote start faulty" or something like that. I'm taking it to the dealer next week, the two front leather seats are being replaced next week anyway for the infamous "wrinkling."

All your problems are most likely a bad WIN module or wirless ignition node . It is the module that you put your key in to start the truck it also is the main part of the remote start system , I added remote start to mine and the WIN was faulty out the box. We have had a few issues with them form time to time on other models, but once its replaced its fine.

Default Just got mine back for same remote and CEL problem

It was a control unit from what I was told. They had to update it said. When I took my truck in there were 4 recalls that I was not even aware of. All good now on the above problems still waiting on a couple of parts for the recalls.

I guess it just needs to be updated with the recall stuff. It hasn't been updated since early december.
