Intermittent wont crank issue

[Truckguy2751]

My 19 wont crank at times when you push the button. I hear a click near the starter. Wait a min or 2 or press an array of FOB buttons and it may or may not start. Battery checks out and I replaced the starter

Do you have any after market LED's in the truck ?

Bad ground maybe

It started about the time I made the first payment

Sometimes they can be finicky . Try and press the brake pedal a little firmer then hit the button and release the brake . There are times I've heard about the truck not recognizing the brake pedal being pushed before the start button is pressed .

So must not be under warranty. If were me, I’d find all the big battery cables (positive and negative) - like diameter of a pencil or bigger, disconnect, clean where they connect and the lug as well, tighten back up. Starter draws a lot of current, so going to be a big cable. Would think if it were the brake pedal that you wouldn’t hear that clicking. Anyone know if the starter solenoid is part of the starter? If not, that is another possibility - find it and replace.
