Check the battery cables and connections as well as the ground on the engine block. Many times the connection looks good but need to be cleaned. Be aware corrosion can get underneath the insulation and create problems.

I just went through this on my truck. New starter relay (actually 2) new starter then replaced Positive cable and BOOM! faster starts and no problems since.. been 5-6 months now. All cables and connections looked fine but positive cable was corroded under insulation.
