Hey guys so my 14 1500 sport I've notice and didn't think it didnit before but who knows.
So when I first start truck in the morning it will crank sounds good then just before it fires up it sounds like a weak battery as it almost stops cranking then fires up.
Its been doing this for a month or so and now that its getting colder I thought I would just change the battery. (Think it's originally first digit is a 4)
Put a brand new 790cca battery in it and first charged it fully before connecting to truck and went to start truck and same thing.
Crank seems good then almost stops then fires right up.
Bad thing normal thing or something simple?

Hey, so this seems similar to what I was experiencing around Feb. I have a 15’ Ram 1500 Sport with about 115,000kms at the time this happened. My truck did the same thing for about 2 weeks and then it wouldn’t start but would crank over. Tested the battery and was a little low on the cranking amps but didn’t think it was low enough to not start the truck. Bought a new battery anyway and that wasn’t the issue lol. Back to the drawing board. Spent the next 2 days researching and going over everything it could possibly be and it turned out to be the fuel pressure sensor crapped out. $100 part from the dealer and a 30 min fix.
