My small v-8, 5 speed manual has started to intermittently not want to crank. When I keep trying, it will start like normal. No clicks, grinding, or slow spinning, just all or nothing. It acts as though I have not pushed the clutch in. Battery is good with clean tight cables. Thanks for any help!

It's for older vehicles but your circuit should be the same. The only possible difference is there may be a computer involved in the neutral safety switch circuit that is replaced on your truck with the clutch switch. The last section is the important one.
