Is it grounded correctly// had the same issue on my Farm tracter.. it kept giving me fits.. until i wire brushed behind the selenoit and but it back on with new bolt now perfect. I know we are talking trucks but if you have it at the starter post the ignition and battery but not from the big starter post is can be the ground.. if I am making any sence here...
