Truck specs:
1997 Dodge RAM 1500, V8
Conditions:
30-65 degrees, cold start
Problem:
In the past few weeks here in Wisconsin, the truck has not started on the first attempt. I turn the key, all the electrical systems come on, but nothing in the engine turns over. After this happens a couple of times (1-2 failed attempts each time), the truck starts. When it does start, it dometimes seems a bit reluctant, but otherwise starts up. If I immediately turn it off and back on again, it starts with no problem. The truck then runs normally after this.
Thoughts?
EDIT: Problem was the starter
