Battery is good. Starter and solenoid are brand new. Sometimes I have to turn ignition switch several times to get power to starter, sometimes turning very slowly, if at all. I have bypassed the clutch interlock, just to prove to myself through process of elimination. I have a starter relay, and ignition relay ordered. I guess ignition switch next. Wish I knew how to check this starter circuit without guessing and throwing new parts at it. Any suggestions?

Hello,

I have included a flowchart on the starting and charging system on your truck below in the diagrams. Go through it and let us know what you find out.

Thanks,

Thanks for all your help. Can hardly wait to start checking a few of these things now, instead of just throwing new parts at it.
