Hi guys I posted awhile ago with a weird intermiten prob. Wouldn't start and after turning the key about 50times it would finally go. Well I think I found the prob. It did it to me this weekend with the kids in the truck. I checked fuse box under the hood and swapped out the starter relay with the grid heater relay and she fired right up. Hasn't done it since. Do relays slowly wear out. It wouldn't do it all the time. Should I get a new one. Grid heater lite still comes on. I hope that's all it was.

They do go out. Its pretty much a solid state version of a solenoid which has moving parts. It should be pretty cheap, and fairly universal.

those type relays can be had for few dollars at local parts store. many things can cause them to go bad. i have one on my jeep that gets dirt in it. i tap it and it will work for few months before it acts up again.

Thanx for the info. I'll keep a spare incase it happens again.
