Drove truck on friday, stopped to get coffee, could not restart car-all lights came on but car wouldn't turn over, husband tried to start, car started. On saturday, the same thing happened again. My son took the truck out and when he tried to restart the truck, it would not turn over, my brother came out and started the truck without a problem. I have made an appointment to get it checked on tomorrow.

You could have a bad starter wen it gets hot it fails then when it cools down it works.You would need to do some testing with a multi meter or test light. When the engine won't start that's when to do the testing.But sounds like your just going to bring it in to a shop.Without us doing any testing I would say possibly a bad starter.
