Hello guys and thank you for any help.
I have a 2010 5.7 Hemi Ram 1500.
For the last few months I have been having problems with the truck starting. When I turn the key I usually here 3 clicks and then I try starting the truck. Sometimes it will just turn over and wont fire and sometimes it will, especially if I have already started the truck that day.
If it doesnt start the first time I will turn the key off and then try starting and pretty much without fail the truck starts.
No running problems whatsoever.
Lately I have noticed I dont always here the clicks. I dont know if that is relevant or not but usually if I dont hear the clicks its not starting the first try.
Any ideas please?

If the battery is holding a charger over night, I'd start with cam position sensor or crank position sensor - seems to be a common issue on the 5.7 in the LX cars, haven't really been on this forum long enough to see a trend on the 5.7 in the trucks, but I can't see it being too different...

Possibly fuel issue, maybe filter. Random guess.
