GM everyone... I have a 2011 Ram 1500 w/5.7 hemi. Few days ago went to start my truck and it turned over once. Oh by the way it has a new battery and alternator. Is it probable for the starter to be problem or something else? When I come to stop at red light it dies on me and will not crank until it cools down for a bit, then it will start again

It is very possible for the starter to be the reason it will not crank/turn over. It is not possible for the starter to be the cause of it dying when coming to a stop. That is being caused by something else.

Is the check engine light on? Has it been on recently and then turned off?

Has any service work been performed on the truck within the last few months?

No check engine light and not serviced. Is it possible the the ignition switch be causing the problem? If so how do I check that out
