What's the age and condition of the batteries??? When they get old, they can do some funny stuff. Plus, double check your battery connections, and DP connection. Easy and cost-free diagnosis. SES light by chance?

It sound like a low battery problem. It takes a lot of juice to crank these trucks over. Charge your batteries and see if it starts up better. If you have a bad battery replace both of them. If you only replace 1 then the good battery will try and compensate for the bad one.

In the 2 1/2 years I've owned my truck, I've learened that these PSD's like to communicate to you when there's somethin wrong....the clicks and lights are PSD language for "please replace my batteries".
