sounds like your trying to describe the sound it makes when a weak battery can't turn the engine over all the way. Weak batteries may work well enough when they are warm. But when the temperature drops is when you start to have trouble.

Welcome to FTE, rgeddes. When the truck doesn't start, what does it do? Crank? No crank? Weak crank?
