Starting issues
The other day I left my key in the acc position for an hour or two and when I finally realized it my truck wouldn’t start. I tested my battery and it was low of charge since it was 3 yrs old I just went ahead and bought a new one. It started fine after that. Few days passed by and it didn’t want to start again. Connected a jump box to it and within 15 mins it turned on. Turned it off and wouldn’t turn on again. Tested the starter solenoid and it seemed like it was bad so swapped it for a new one. Still wouldn’t start. Tested the battery and it’s good. Tested the alt and it’s putting out over 13 volts. Banged on the starter and that doesn’t help either. Idk what it could be ? Any ideas would be appreciated.

Actually....it can. I remember being as surprised as anyone about what I found out in this thread awhile back.

But it only did it once the engine was warm - once it had cooled down it would start with no problems.

Read the whole caption a few times, then keep the procedure AND all the tools in the truck so you can check it when the problem appears:
