1st issue is when my truck is warm it does not want to start. It sounds like it would if the starter is bad but I had no t replaced and it’s the same issue. They had my truck for a few weeks and decided when the engine is hot there is no power getting to the tipm box. When the engine is cool it starts no problems at all.

2nd issue is now my warning lights for traction control, ESP BAS & ABS are blinking on and off. It went to the shop for this and I was told it was a low tire pressure so they put air in my tire only 4psi more and claimed it was fixed but now they are on non stop and my truck tried to break while I’m driving

Definitely sounds like battery could be getting weak, I would have it load tested and depending on results possibly get a new one.

If that doesn't fix it then I would check grounds. I wouldn't think that would be a part of the starting issue but your other lights bugging out could be a grounding issue.

Thank you for the advise. We bought a new battery that has higher CCA and longer life but it doesn’t seem to be helping either.

Confirm that the new battery is good also. I've bought brand new WalMart batteries and had them go bad within a couple days and have to be swapped out.

I also recommend load testing the new battery , you may have a wheel speed sensor dirty or malfunctioning tripping other codes.

check your main battery cables/wires epecially the one going to the starter it may be going bad/corroded internally.
