Cranking issues

[Doron]

This is my first time on the forum. I bought a 2012 ram sport with 5.7 used a few months ago . Truck has given me issues with not cranking. This has been a very sporadic problem , it may go a day or two cranking fine then it may happen twice in a day . What it does is when you turn the key the starter will actually bump the engine or turn the engine over a half second then nothing . Normally I can hit the key two or thee times and it will eventually turn over and crank immediately. I made a video of this took it to the dealer showed them the video because I knew chances are they wouldn't be able to replicate the problem. They couldn't but decided it was the win module and replaced it. Cranked fine for a day or two then back to the same issue. I've seen old post on these forums as far back as 2013 just wondering if there has been any recent information with this type problem with other owners .
