When I try to start my truck it acts like its dead. But when I turn the key all the way on and let it sit for 5 to 10 sec it starts but drags a bit. What could it be?

Hi, I'd have to make sure the battery has a full charge and the connections are good. If your saying the starter won't crank, I'd check the starter circuit. There should be a starter relay in underhood fuse box. Voltage for load/switch side of relay, is hot all the time. Voltage to the coil side of relay goes hot with the key in the crank position. When the problem occurs, did you try cranking in neutral?
