The truck makes a single slick noise when tuning the key, not click,click click like a loose conection. Thats it. But if I rock the truck while in park, something must move, as it will start right up.
This does not happen all the time when starting. Sometimes it starts right up. It used to happen 1 in 100, than 1in 50, now it seems like it happens1 in5-6 times.
Thank for whatever insight you can provide.

this could be the teeth on the flywheel worn of or the starter drive on the starter bad and not making good engagement. Or the starter loose. Take it to a pro so he can properly diagnose it.......
