For the last 3 months I have had intermittent problems with my truck not cranking. It won't crank with the remote or the push button. When I try and start it I can hear a click but the starter doesn't engage and crank the engine. I can sit in the truck for about 5-10 minutes and I will hear another click (distinctly different than the first one I described) like a relay has been reset or a solenoid has engaged and the truck will crank with no issues. Once I get it started I won't have any issue starting it again for a few days and but then it's back to the exact same thing happening.

You probably have already checked for any error codes but if you haven’t or if you forgot could you please post them ?

No error codes. Checked the battery, the alternator, and starter with all coming back fine

Going through this now with my 2020 Ram. Hit the start button, nothing. Wait and keep trying, it starts. I have appointment on March 14th earliest I could get. Battery was replaced and everything worked as it should until this new issue. No codes showing so I don't know what to look for.
