When my truck has been run a while when I turn it off, It will not start. It acts like the battery is dead. The starter will not engage. The battery is not dead. After a while it will start. The interval between when it is turned off and when it will start again has grown from a few minutes to now it would not start this AM after sitting all nite. It has never done that before. It has gotten worse as the weather has gotten warmer. Do you have any idea what it could be?

Hi dougkorth. Welcome to the forum. Check the connections on the starter relay. The soft copper nuts commonly work loose causing intermittent problems. It is also common for the starter cable to corrode apart under the insulation next to where it is bolted to the starter. That won't affect anything other than the starter.
