    Thanks in advance for any replies to my inquiry. I bought the truck new in 2016 and within the first year I thought the battery had died, so I replaced it. Did that each year for 4 years. I had the current battery and charging system checked out out a local auto parts store. What happens is that after I drive the truck for a bit and go to start it again, nothing, just a slight humming sound. When I wait 15 - 30 minutes, it starts, sometimes a bit hesitantly. Some bloggers were saying that the solenoid on the starter can over heat and seize up. Any ideas are appreciated.

    Thanks Hooper89 Ill mention that to the dealer. I can can run multiple errands, starting and stopping with no issue, there does not seem to be any rhyme or reason, yesterday it happened after two starts and stops.
