Default possible starter problems 2005 Ram

In Feb of this year, we started having problems starting the truck. You would turn the key and nothing would happen. It would not even try to start. We replaced the battery and we were advised after it was replaced that the original battery still had a great deal of charge to it.A month later, same problem. Took it to the dealer, they cleaned the starter cable and it still would not crank. They advised that they relearned the the Electronic Throttle Control and then it was working ok. Problem started again this past week. Took it to the dealer yesterday and they said that it was the battery. Per their tests, one of the cells is bad. Took the truck to two other places and the battery tested fine. When the truck won't start, the lights and everything else work as usual. Any help or ideas that y'all have would be great.

Thanks!

when it does this.. climb under.. and tap on the starter with something like a crowbar... then start.. you can also do this while trying to start it.. if it kicks.. its the starter
