start with the battery-car parts places test for free. Will need replaced soon enough anyway.

I just had an issue similar to yours. Turn the key and its a pause then slowly cranks like its struggling maybe? Could be your starter.? Eventually it will stop cranking and you will hear a series of clicks before it finally turns over. At least that's what mine did the first time. How old is the truck? Mileage?

I just replaced my starter today.......

You can get a bosch rebuilt one for around $200

If that's the issue......

Mine was doing it cold / hot / after sitting. Didn't matter.
