    You want to get this addressed sooner rather than later - that on/off/on/off cycling can damage components and these trucks have very sensitive electric systems.

    I've seen this before in a x-files episode. Definitely aliens..as others have stated check your battery terminals first. You may also want to inspect the wiring harness in the engine compartment for signs of mice or rodents.
